This package contains the models that were used for the BESTEST validation (ANSI/ASHRAE 2007). The basic model from which all other models extend from is Buildings.Rooms.Examples.BESTEST.Case600FF.
All examples have a script that runs an annual simulation and plots the results with the minimum, mean and maximum value listed in the ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 140-2007.
The script compares the following quantities
Note that in addition to the BESTESTs, the window model has been validated separately in Nouidui et al. (2012).
Heating and cooling is controlled using the PI controller Buildings.Controls.Continuous.LimPID with anti-windup.
Hourly averaged values, and annual mean values, are computed using an instance of Modelica.Blocks.Math.Mean.
