Case 600FF, but with dual-setpoint for heating and cooling
Information
This model is used for the basic test case 600 of the BESTEST validation suite. Case 600 is a light-weight building with room temperature control set to 20°C for heating and 27°C for cooling. The room has no shade and a window that faces south.
