modelZoneSurfaces

Example model with two EnergyPlus unconditioned zones with their separating surfaces modeled in Modelica

Extends from BaseClasses.ReferenceSurfaces (Model that contains Eplus OutputVariable used to validate ZoneSurface).

Information

This model simulates the envelope of a single family house with EnergyPlus but uses Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_24_2_0.ZoneSurface to model the heat transfer through the garage exterior (east and west facing) and interior walls.
