Example model using the block OptimalStart with a Guideline36 controller for a single-zone system in spring

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).

Information

This is an example model on how to use the block Buildings.Controls.OBC.Utilities.OptimalStart that integrates with a controller based on Guideline36 Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36.AHUs.SingleZone.VAV.Controller, a single-zone VAV system and a single-zone floor building. The building, HVAC system and controller model can be found in the base class Buildings.Air.Systems.SingleZone.VAV.Examples.OptimalStart.BaseClasses.ZoneWithAHUG36.

This example validates the optimal start results for the spring condition. The first few days are initialization period. The optimal start time is zero when the zone temperature is within the heating and cooling setpoint deadband.
