Buildings

Information

Users Guide of the Modelica Buildings Library

Package Buildings is a free package for modeling building HVAC systems. It provides partial models and model components for modeling thermal building systems such as heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. Many models are based on models from the package Modelica_Fluid and use the same ports to ensure compatibility with models from that library.

The web page that is dedicated to the development of this library is https://gaia.lbl.gov/bir. We welcome contributions from different users to further advance this library, whether it is through collaborative model development, through model use and testing or through requirements definition or by providing feedback regarding the model applicability to solve specific problems.
