modelBuildingSpawnZ6
Six-zone EnergyPlus building model based on URBANopt GeoJSON export, with distribution pumps
Extends from Buildings.DHC.Loads.BaseClasses.PartialBuilding (Partial class for building model).
Information
This is a simplified six-zone building model based on an EnergyPlus
building envelope model.
It was generated from translating a GeoJSON model specified within the URBANopt UI.
The heating and cooling loads are computed with a four-pipe
fan coil unit model derived from
Buildings.DHC.Loads.BaseClasses.PartialTerminalUnit
and connected to the room model by means of fluid ports. The Attic zone
is unconditionned, with a free floating temperature.

| Configuration | |||
| Boolean | have_heaWat (from PartialBuilding) | false | Set to true if the building has heating water system |
| Boolean | have_chiWat (from PartialBuilding) | false | Set to true if the building has chilled water system |
| Boolean | have_eleHea (from PartialBuilding) | false | Set to true if the building has decentralized electric heating system |
| Boolean | have_eleCoo (from PartialBuilding) | false | Set to true if the building has decentralized electric cooling system |
| Boolean | have_fan (from PartialBuilding) | false | Set to true if fan power is computed |
| Boolean | have_pum (from PartialBuilding) | false | Set to true if pump power is computed |
| Boolean | have_weaBus (from PartialBuilding) | false | Set to true to use a weather bus |
| Boolean | have_heaLoa (from PartialBuilding) | have_heaWat or have_eleHea | Set to true if the building has heating loads |
| Boolean | have_cooLoa (from PartialBuilding) | have_chiWat or have_eleCoo | Set to true if the building has cooling loads |
| Scaling | |||
