modelUnconditioned

Example model with one unconditoned zone simulated in Modelica, and the other two unconditioned zones simulated in EnergyPlus

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).

Information

This example models the living room as an unconditioned zone in Modelica. The living room is connected to a fresh air supply and exhaust. The heat balance of the air of the other two thermal zones, i.e., the attic and the garage, are modeled in EnergyPlus.
