Bearing in mind the above mentioned equation (from Szokolay). I have selected the followings for a simple one zone model

Surface Heat storage Rate/Energy (all the surfaces with thermal mass)

(int load-in case of only radiant internal gains) Zone Electric Equipment Total Heating Energy

(Solar heat gains) Zone Windows Total Transmitted Solar Radiation Rate Zone Windows Total Heat Gain/Loss Rate

(convective with no infiltration) Zone Ventilation Total Heat Loss/gain Energy

(conduction through building material and solar conductive heat gain) Surface Average Face Conduction Heat Transfer Rate Zone Windows Total Heat Loss/Gain Rate

(ideal loads) Zone Ideal Loads Zone Total Heating/cooling Energy

So far i haven't manage to demonstrate this balance.

Any suggestions, especially for evaporative heat-loss ? to my knowledge the only variables related to latent heat are the one of ideal loads and ventilation and internal loads.

thanks in advance
