.IDEAS.Templates.Interfaces.Building

Information

Interface for building model, that allows to select a structure, heating system, ventilation system, occupant model and optional in-home electrical grid. These components must also be defined as extensions of the respective templates in IDEAS.Templates.Interfaces.BaseClasses. This interface connects the componets appropriately and defines the media that are used.
By setting standAlone=false an electric pin becomes available for connection to an external electricity grid.
Fluid ports for the connection to a district heating network will be used if parameter isDH=true in the heatingSystem model. Furthermore, the number of embeded ports of the structure is taken from the one defined by the heating system: building.nEmb=heatingSystem.nEmbPorts.

  Parameter isDH defining if the building is connected to a DH grid is now set in the heating system model instead of here. The number of embeded ports of the structure is now taken from the one defined by the heating system: nEmb=heatingSystem.nEmbPorts. See #1118.
