Buildings.Rooms.Examples.BESTEST

BESTEST validation models

Information

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

For free floating cases, the annual hourly integrated minimum (and maximum) zone air temperature, and the annual mean zone air temperature.
For cases with heating and cooling, the annual heating and cooling energy, and the annual hourly integrated minimum (and maximum) peak heating and cooling power.

Note that in addition to the BESTESTs, the window model has been validated separately in Nouidui et al. (2012).

Implementation

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.

Buildings.Rooms.Examples.BESTEST.Case600

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.

Extends from Case600FF (Basic test with light-weight construction and free floating temperature).

Buildings.Rooms.Examples.BESTEST.Case610

Case 600 with south shading

Information

This model is the case 610 of the BESTEST validation suite. Case 610 differs from case 600 in that the window has an overhang.

Implementation

Two overhangs have been added, one for each window, because each window only sees its own overhang.

Buildings.Rooms.Examples.BESTEST.Case950

Case 900, but cooling based on schedule, night venting, and no heating

Information

This model is used for the test case 950 of the BESTEST validation suite. Case950 is the same as Case900, but with the following modifications:

From 1800 hours to 0700 hours, vent fan = on
From 0700 hours to 1800 hours, vent fan = off
Heating is always off
From 0700 hours to 1800 hours, cooling is on if zone temperature > 27°C, otherwise cool = off.
From 1800 hours to 0700 hours, cooling is always off.
Ventilation fan capacity is 1703.16 standard m³/h (in addition to specified infiltration rate).
No waste heat from fan.

Extends from Case900 (Case 600, but with high thermal mass).
