Simplified data center room

Buildings.Examples.ChillerPlant.BaseClasses.SimplifiedRoom

Information

This is a simplified room model for a data center. There is no heat exchange between the room and ambient environment through the building envelope since it is negligible compared to the heat released by the servers.
