Information

Example of one building with one thermal zone in which the room air temperature is controlled with a PI controller. Heating is provided through a radiator. The control output is used to regulate the water flow rate through the radiator. The setpoint for the room air temperature changes between day and night. The zone also has a constant air infiltration flow rate.

Note that for simplicity, the model has no cooling system. Therefore, in summer, the house overheats. Also note that the surface temperature of the radiator is not taken into account when computing the radiative temperature of the thermal zone.
