Validation model for six zones small office building

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

Information

Validation of free floating temperatures. The model uses the small office building of the DOE Reference Buildings. The Modelica model is in free floating mode, and the data reader datRea outputs, for comparison, the free floating room temperatures that were obtained from an EnergyPlus simulation.
