The Buildings
library is a free open-source library
for modeling of building energy and control systems. Many models
are based on models from the package Modelica.Fluid and use the same
ports to ensure compatibility with models from that library.
The web page for this library is http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/modelica. We welcome contributions from different users to further advance this library, whether it is through collaborative model development, through model use and testing or through requirements definition or by providing feedback regarding the model applicability to solve specific problems.
The library has the following User's Guides:
Buildings
library is available at http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/modelica/userGuide.
This web site covers general information that is not specific to
the use of individual packages or models. Discussed topics include
how to get started, best practices, how to post-process results
using Python, work-around for problems and how to develop
