.Buildings.Controls.OBC.Utilities.Validation.OptimalStartHeating

Information

This model is to validate the block Buildings.Controls.OBC.Utilities.OptimalStart for space heating system.

The room is modeled as a simple differential equation with a time constant of around 5.6 hours. The outdoor temperature is also repetitive each day; the optimal start time converges to a small amount of time tOpt after a few days.
