| Buildings.Examples.ScalableBenchmarks | |
| Buildings.Examples.ScalableBenchmarks.BuildingVAV.ThermalZones.ThermalZone | Reimplemented computation of energy provided by HVAC system to also include the latent load.
The new implementation uses the enthalpy sensor, and therefore the mass flow rate and temperature
sensors have been removed. Also, rather than load in Watts, it outputs the energy in Joules. This version also improves the infiltration. Now, exactly the same amount of air in infiltrated and exfiltrated. This was not the case previously because the infiltration was a prescribed air flow rate, and the exfiltration was based on pressure difference. This caused an inbalance in the HVAC supply and return air flow rate. |

Changed implementation of the filter and changed the parameter order to be a constant
because typical users have no need to change this value.
The new implementation uses a simpler model.This is for IBPSA #1498. This change is only backwards incompatible if a user propagated the value of order to a high-level parameter.
|
| Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances | |
| Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.PlugFlowPipe Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.BaseClasses.PlugFlowCore |
In Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.PlugFlowPipe, changed ports_b,
which was a vectorized port, to port_b which is a scalar port.
This has been done in order for the model to have the same connectors as
are used for other pipe models.Refactored implementation and made various classes in this model protected. This is for IBPSA #1494. For Dymola, a conversion script renames existing models to Buildings.Obsolete.Fluid.FixedResistances.PlugFlowPipe and

| Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_9_6_0 | |
| Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_9_6_0 | Renamed package to add the version number for EnergyPlus. This will allow supporting more than
one version of EnergyPlus. This is for #2851. |
| Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_9_6_0.Building | This model, which needs to be part of every model that uses EnergyPlus, now
requires the specification of the EnergyPlus weather data file (.epw file)
through the parameter epwName.This is for #2443. Removed the parameters showWeatherData and generatePortableFMU.
Now, the weather data bus is always enabled as it is used in almost all simulations.
This change is supported in the conversion script.Converted usePrecompiledFMU and the associated fmuName from
parameter to a constant as these are only used for debugging by developers.This is for #2759. |

and moved the old package to Buildings.Obsolete.Utilities.IO.Python36.This is for #2599. For Dymola, a conversion script will rename models that use Python36
to use Python_3_8.

| Buildings.DHC.Plants.Cooling.Controls.ChillerStage | Corrected parameter value for twoOn.nOut.
This correction is required to simulate the model in Dymola 2022
if the model has been updated to MSL 4.0.0. With MSL 3.2.3, the simulation
works without this correction.This is for Buildings, #1563. |
