I'm designing an unconditioned building with a thermal mass / night precooling strategy, and I'm using hourly reports of the zone temp to evaluate different mass strategies.

However, there are at least three hourly reports that are potentially relevant to this:

- Current hour zone temp

- Trial zone temp

- The average temp during this hour

Can anyone on the list tell me what the differences are between these values and how they are computed? Which is going to best represent the occupant's experience of the zone conditions?

Thanks
