Dear Xavier,
  We did not originally develop full technical documentation for the 
libraries in part because we wanted to make them available to the TRNSYS 
user community quickly, in part because we wanted to keep the price of the 
libraries low and in part because we hoped that the online documentation 
(IISiBat proformas and input/output description manual would be sufficient. 
There has been enough interest, though, in full documentation that we are 
working on a complete manual (like the red binder) and are planning that it 
will be available for all components with the release of version 2.0. We 
decided that it would be better to make and release all the documentation 
at once instead of one piece at a time. Version 2.0 of the libraries will 
be released along with TRNSYS version 16.
Kind regards,
  David
