Example problem for conversion model

Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.Conversions.Examples.To_VolumeFraction

Information

This example demonstrates the modeling of a room with one person and CO2 control. The room has a volume of 4*4*2.7 m3, and the CO2 inflow is from one person. A control system regulates the outside air to maintain a CO2 concentration of 1000 PPM in the room. The outside air has a CO2 concentration of 300 PPM. Note that for simplicity, we allow zero outside air flow rate if the CO2 concentration is below the setpoint, which does not comply with ASHRAE regulations.
