Description
Welcome to the course "Modeling an HVAC System in TRNSYS"! This course is designed to help you master the fundamentals of building and HVAC system simulation using TRNSYS, a powerful software widely used in energy analysis and system design. Whether you're a beginner or looking to enhance your expertise, this course will provide practical, step-by-step guidance to create professional-level simulations.We'll start by modeling a multizone building in Google SketchUp, where you'll learn how to design and structure buildings for accurate energy modeling. Next, we'll import the building into TRNSYS Simulation Studio and explore the tools to refine its properties using TRNBuild. You'll discover how to define thermal zones, building materials, and internal gains to replicate real-world scenarios.Finally, we'll integrate HVAC components and other essential elements in Simulation Studio to create a complete system ready for analysis. Each section includes hands-on exercises, clear explanations, and actionable insights to ensure you build confidence in using TRNSYS for your projects.By the end of the course, you'll have the skills to model energy-efficient buildings and HVAC systems, empowering you to contribute effectively to sustainable design and energy optimization projects. Let's get started!The simulation files are available at the end of course.
