Information

Simple example of a thermal zone model

This model is an example of a simple thermal zone assembly - it can not be used as such and must be set, including with the use of each sub-model parameters so that they are accessible to outside in an assembly using this model.

Hypothesis and equations

Parallelepiped single-zone glazed building model, connected to a boundary conditions model on the left hand side

• port_a for the outdoor air temperature
• port_a1 for the ground temperature
• and G, a realOutput for solar fluxes.

The ceiling is directly subjected to the outdoor temperature. The walls are oriented in the four cardinal points.

Bibliography

Instructions for use

This single zone building model is to be connected to a weather boundary conditions model on the left (outside temperature, sunlight-related data).

The walls parameterization is done via the parameter caracParoi, however it still can be done layer by layer without creating any type of wall.

1. Click on the small arrow of caracParoi + Edit
2. Fill in the fields on the number of layers, their thickness, the mesh. The parameter positionIsolant is optional
3. For the matte parameter, click on the small arrow + Edit array, match the number of boxes in a column to the number of materials layer in the window that is displayed, then, in each box, right-click + Insert function call and browse the library to specify the path of the desired material (in Utilities.Data.Solids)

Known limits / Use precautions

To consider longwave radiation, exchange coefficients h must be global exchange coefficients.
