.Buildings.Controls.OBC.Utilities.Validation.OptimalStartHeatingCooling .Buildings.Controls.OBC.Utilities.Validation.OptimalStartHeatingCoolingThis models validates both space heating and cooling for the block Buildings.Controls.OBC.Utilities.OptimalStart.
The first ten days is to test the heating case with a lower outdoor temperature. The next ten days has a higher outdoor temprature, which is to test the cooling case. The zone model has a time constant of 27.8 hours. The optimal start block converges separately to an optimal start time for heating and cooling. Note that during the three transition days, the zone temperature is in the deadband, so there is no need to optimally start the heating or cooling system in advance.
