Dear Experts

We are looking for detailed description of modeling method for

Floor heating and TABS

in EnergyPlus.

Could you give us some advice?

(Engineering Reference is not enough)

Regards,

Karol

I assume that TABS = thermally activated building systems? The details
of this model in EnergyPlus are explained in the Engineering Reference
section "Low Temperature Radiant System Model", especially the
subsection "Extension of Time Series Solutions to Include Heat Sources
and Obtain Internal Temperatures". There are technical papers
referenced at the end of that section; the most pertinent are the ones
by Strand and Pedersen. Beyond that, the only thing that will have more
detail is the source code itself.
