TRNSYS – features and functionality for building simulation 2009 conference

This paper seeks to highlight the recent developments in TRNSYS including the introduction of a three-dimensional geometrical building model and interface, improvements in the TRNSYS simulation engine to facilitate the creation of user-written components, ease-of-use modifications to the graphical interface, and new components including a BESTEST reference standard model that accurately calculates and displays the energy transfer between a building and the surrounding earth.
