Information

Model with two identical thermal zones that validates that they yield the same indoor air temperatures and humidity, and that these results are close to the values computed by EnergyPlus.

Each zone has a floor area of 900 m2, the same door and two windows on the south side. The internal gains for lighting, people and equipment are identical. The zones are detached and do not shade each other. The zones have an outside air exchange rate of 0.3 air changes per hour.
