.IDEAS.Buildings.Components.SlabOnGround

Information

This is a floor model that should be used to simulate floors on solid ground. See IDEAS.Buildings.Components.Interfaces.PartialOpaqueSurface for equations, options, parameters, validation and dynamics that are common for all surfaces.

Typical use and important parameters

The model contains several parameters that are used to set up a simplified model of the influence of the environment on the ground themperature. The model assumes that the floor plate is connected to a (heated) zone that is surrounded by air at the ambient temperature.

Revisions

• April 26, 2020, by Filip Jorissen:
  Refactored SolBus to avoid many instances in PropsBus. See #1131
• October 13, 2019, by Filip Jorissen:
  Refactored the parameter definition of inc and azi by adding the option to use radio buttons. See #1067
• January 25, 2019, by Filip Jorissen:
  Revised initial equation implementation. See issue #971.
• August 10, 2018 by Damien Picard:
  Set nWin final to 1 as this should only be used for windows. See #888.
• May 14, 2018, by Filip Jorissen:
  Revised value of energyDynamics for ground layers such that unique initial conditions can be defined.
• January 2, 2017, by Filip Jorissen:
  Added default values for parameters inc and azi.
• October 22, 2016, by Filip Jorissen:
  Revised documentation for IDEAS 1.0.
• December 7, 2016 by Damien Picard:
  Set placeCapacityAtSurf_b to false for the last layMul layer. This is necessary due to the initialization which is overspecified when two capacities are connected to each other without resistances between. Using dynamicFreeInitial for both the first layer of layGro and the last one of LayMul did not solve the problem.
• September 27, 2016 by Filip Jorissen:
  Different initialisation for state between layMul and layGround for avoiding conflicting initial equations.
• February 10, 2016, by Filip Jorissen and Damien Picard:
  Revised implementation: cleaned up connections and partials.
• June 14, 2015, Filip Jorissen:
  Adjusted implementation for computing conservation of energy.
