[Bldg-sim] "Qualified" energy modeling tools for LEED NC v2.2

[Zhai Chaoqin]

Tim,

I have the impression that Type 56 in TRNSYS is not a geometrical, but
rather a analytical, representation of buildings, by which I mean that Type
56 does not seem to understand what is the relationship between different
building elements, such as east wall, west wall, window, roof, shading, etc.
Am I right or wrong?

How do you input building definition in TRNSYS?

Thanks,
Chaoqin
