.Buildings.Fluid.FMI.ExportContainers.Examples.FMUs.HVACZone

Information

This example demonstrates how to export a model of an HVAC system that only provides convective cooling to a single thermal zone. The HVAC system is adapted from Buildings.Examples.Tutorial.SpaceCooling.System3, but flow resistances have been added to have the same configuration as Buildings.Fluid.FMI.ExportContainers.Examples.FMUs.HVACZones. Having the same configuration is needed for the validation test Buildings.Fluid.FMI.ExportContainers.Validation.RoomHVAC.

The example extends from Buildings.Fluid.FMI.ExportContainers.HVACZone which provides the input and output signals that are needed to interface the acausal HVAC system model with causal connectors of FMI. The instance hvacAda is the HVAC adapter that contains on the left a fluid port, and on the right signal ports which are then used to connect at the top-level of the model to signal ports which are exposed at the FMU interface.

• September 21, 2021 by David Blum:
  Correct supply and return water parameterization.
  Use explicit calculation of sensible and latent load to determine design load on cooling coil.
  This is for #2624.
• May 15, 2019, by Jianjun Hu:
  Replaced fluid source. This is for #1072.
• November 11, 2016, by Michael Wetter:
  Made the cooling coil replaceable because the Buildings library uses the model for validation with a cooling coil model that is not in the Annex 60 library.
• April 16, 2016 by Michael Wetter:
  First implementation.
