What is TSC/? TranspiredSolarCollector? What is the thermal performance of a TSC?
How are you using it? Using it, for example, as an external shade?

If you do not have asystem or model which may work in real live, it cannot be simulated.
I do not understand how you are going to use TSC to reduce the heating load of a building. Parametric study will not get you anywhere, if you do not understand the properties of all the variables.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] problem with TSC
Dear All,
I am undertaking a dissertation on modelling the thermal performance of TSC in E+ So far, I have read I/O reference and I have been following the default file TranspiredsolarCollectors which comes with E+.
But the problem is , since I followed the default file and the documentation, I ended up modelling a great amount of HVAC objects which henestly I do not know what some of them do, (I am not familiar with the mechanical part of E+ and in general also). However, I managed to model the TSC ( by copying the office 11 features in the default file) and it runs now however , I can not interpret the results. ( there are many outputs such as direct air sensible heating energy, air loop total heating energy, zone system sensible heating energy etc .
My geometric model is a simple box ( 25X15X8) . The TSC is on the south wall. What I need to do for the dissertation, is to find out how much decrease in heating loads is gonna happen with A TSC(my base model without a TSC) and later I need to play with the outdoor flow rate to see how it afffects the heati,ng loads and the effectiveness of TSC. The final part will be parametric study ,changing one variable at a time to find out how it affects the TSC output.
However, there are so many control mechanisms,setpoints, schedules and I can not get the hang of it and I got stuck !
Is there anyone out there who have already modelled TSC . I would be grateful if I get some help with HVAC PART.
