Re: number of zones

["Dr.Karl-Christian Rauch" <Rauch-Muenster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

this mail without virus W32/Badtrans@MM (some people of the
TRNSYS news group know what I mean).

According to your question my hint to the international congress
held in Liège (Belgium) on 1-3 Dec. 1986. Once more special
thanks to Prof.J.Lebrun and his team for the days which we could
spend in Liège "some" years ago.

In the attachment you will see two sides from the proceedings of this
congress, refering to a contribution of  J.Lebrun and M.Strengnart:
Simulation of Residential Heating Systems

Perhaps the answer given by J.Lebrun himself to my similar question
will give you the direction fór your approach

Kind regards
Dr.Karl-Christian Rauch
SAP R/3 Application-Developer
Consultant Tivoli    and
former TRNSYS user
