Perfectly mixed air model.
Main equations
This model computes a single air temperature that is used to
evaluate convective heat transfer of all surfaces,
components connected to gainCon (e.g. radiators), etc.
The air outlet temperature equals the well mixed air temperature.
Assumption and limitations
This model is not valid for buildings where stratification occurs,
e.g. when using floor cooling
or ceiling heating.
When dry air is used, then the relative humidity output is set to zero.
Typical use and important parameters
The zone air volume Vto determines the thermal mass of the air.
This mass may be artificially increased using mSenFac if desired,
e.g. to take into account the thermal mass of furniture.
Dynamics
This model only contains states to represent the energy and mass dynamics,
typically using a temperature and pressure variable.
Parameters energyDynamics and massDynamics
may be used to change the model dynamics.
Validation
See BESTEST.
