Validation model for reference surfaces and zone surfaces

Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_9_6_0.Validation.SurfaceComparison.SurfaceComparison

Information

This model validates that the Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_9_6_0.ZoneSurface objects results in similar surface heat transfer to the equivalent EnergyPlus surface object.

It does so by comparing the temperature of the building in Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_9_6_0.Validation.SurfaceComparison.BaseClasses.ReferenceSurfaces that only uses EnergyPlus surfaces, and the building in Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_9_6_0.Validation.SurfaceComparison.BaseClasses.ZoneSurfaces that uses the same envelope but replaces select surfaces with Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_9_6_0.ZoneSurface objects.
