Information

This model consist a building envelope model which is extented from Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.MixedAir.

Internal heat gain which includes radiative heat gain qRadGai_flow, convective heat gain qConGai_flow, and latent heat gain qLatGai_flow are referenced from ASHRAE Handbook fundamental. The factor gainFactor is used to scale up/down the heat gain. The gain schdule is specified by intLoad. A constant air infiltration from outside is assumed.

Revisions

• September 16, 2021, by Michael Wetter:
  Removed parameter lat as this is now obtained from the weather data reader.
  This is for IBPSA, #1477.
• August 13, 2021, by Michael Wetter:
  Reimplemented computation of energy provided by HVAC system to also include the latent load. The new implementation uses the enthalpy sensor, and therefore the mass flow rate and temperature sensors have been removed.
• April 10, 2017, by Jianjun Hu:
  First implementation.
