.Buildings.UsersGuide.ReleaseNotes.Version_9_1_1 .Buildings.UsersGuide.ReleaseNotes.Version_9_1_1Version 9.1.1 is backward compatible with 9.1.0, except that the
Spawn binaries need to be updated as described in
Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_9_6_0.UsersGuide.Installation.
The library has been tested with Dymola 2023x, OpenModelica 1.22.0-dev (41-g8a5b18f-1), OPTIMICA 1.43.4 and recent versions of Impact.
The Spawn binaries have been updated from version 0.3.0 to 0.4.3. Both use the same EnergyPlus input data files from EnergyPlus 9.6.0. The update corrects a bug that caused EnergyPlus to always send a heat capacitance multiplier of 1 to Modelica (see #3481).
The following new components have been added to existing libraries:
| Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData | |
| Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.BaseClasses.PartialConvertTime | Added model to be extended in solar models that
need calendar year for calculation. See IBPSA, #1716. |
The following existing components have been improved in a backward compatible way:
| Buildings.Controls.OBC.Utilities | |
| Buildings.Controls.OBC.Utilities.PIDWithInputGains | Corrected the instance antWinGai2 to
be conditional.This is for #3423. |
| Buildings.BoundaryConditions | |

Updated radiation models to use calendar time
instead of simulation time. See IBPSA, #1716. |
| Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL | |
| Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Psychrometrics.WetBulb_TDryBulPhi | Added a constant in order for unit check to
pass. See IBPSA, #1711. |

Changed models to comply with CDL
specifications. This is for #3301. |
| Buildings.Electrical | |
| Buildings.Electrical.Interfaces.PartialTwoPort | Added constraining clause for terminal as models
that extend from this model access a component that is not in the
base class, and Optimica 1.40 issues a warning for this. This is for #3236. |
| Buildings.Fluid | |
|
Buildings.Fluid.Examples.Performance.Example5 Buildings.Fluid.Examples.Performance.Example6 Buildings.Fluid.Examples.Performance.Example7 Buildings.Fluid.Examples.Performance.Example8 |

Corrected variability of assignment to comply with
the Modelica Language Definition. See IBPSA, #1762. |
| Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.BaseClasses.Examples.EpsilonNTUZ | Added a constant in order for unit check to
pass. See IBPSA, #1711. |
| Buildings.Media | |
| Buildings.Media.Examples.BaseClasses.PartialProperties | Removed a self-dependent default binding of a
function input. This is for #3384. |

The following critical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that can lead to wrong simulation results):
| Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL | |
| Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Continuous.Sources.CalendarTime | Refactored implementation to avoid wrong day
number due to rounding errors that caused simultaneous events to
not be triggered at the same time. This is for issue 3199. |
| Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers | |
| Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DryCoilDiscretized | Corrected the modification of
hexReg[nReg].m2_flow_nominal.This is for #3441. |
| Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_9_6_0 | |
| Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_9_6_0.ThermalZone | Corrected bug that caused EnergyPlus to always
send 1 for the heat capacitance multiplier. This is for #3481. |
| Buildings.Utilities.Time | |
| Buildings.Utilities.Time.CalendarTime | Refactored implementation to avoid wrong day
number due to rounding errors that caused simultaneous events to
not be triggered at the same time. This is for issue 3199. |
The following uncritical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that do not lead to wrong simulation results, e.g., units are wrong or errors in documentation):
| Buildings.Fluid.FMI | |
| Buildings.Fluid.FMI.Adaptors.Outlet | Corrected dimension of X in function
call, which caused the model to not translate with some tools if
the media has only one component such as water.IBPSA, #1768. |
| Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers | |
| Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DXCoils.BaseClasses.Evaporation | Corrected assertion for the condition
dX_nominal<0 and the documentation.This is for issue 3322. |
