Version 1.6 build 1
Version 1.6 build 1 updates the Buildings
library to the
Modelica Standard Library 3.2.1 and to Modelica_StateGraph2
2.0.2.
This is the first version of the Buildings
library
that contains models from the
IEA EBC Annex 60 library,
a Modelica library for building and community energy systems that is
collaboratively developed within the project
"New generation computational tools for building and community energy systems
based on the Modelica and Functional Mockup Interface standards",
a project that is conducted under the
Energy in Buildings and Communities Programme (EBC) of the
International Energy Agency (IEA).
The following new components have been added to existing libraries:
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.TwoWayTable | Two way valve for which the opening characteristics is specified by a table. |
Buildings.Utilities.Math | |
Buildings.Utilities.Math.Examples.Average Buildings.Utilities.Math.Examples.InverseXRegularized Buildings.Utilities.Math.Examples.Polynominal Buildings.Utilities.Math.Examples.PowerLinearized Buildings.Utilities.Math.Examples.QuadraticLinear Buildings.Utilities.Math.Examples.RegNonZeroPower Buildings.Utilities.Math.Examples.SmoothExponential Buildings.Utilities.Math.Functions.average Buildings.Utilities.Math.Functions.booleanReplicator Buildings.Utilities.Math.Functions.Examples.IsMonotonic Buildings.Utilities.Math.Functions.Examples.TrapezoidalIntegration Buildings.Utilities.Math.Functions.integerReplicator Buildings.Utilities.Math.InverseXRegularized Buildings.Utilities.Math.Polynominal Buildings.Utilities.Math.PowerLinearized Buildings.Utilities.Math.QuadraticLinear Buildings.Utilities.Math.RegNonZeroPower Buildings.Utilities.Math.SmoothExponential Buildings.Utilities.Math.TrapezoidalIntegration | Various functions and blocks for mathematical operations. |

The following existing components have been improved in a backward compatible way:
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortInterface Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialFourPortInterface |
Removed call to homotopy function in the computation of the connector variables as these are conditionally enabled variables and therefore must not be used in any equation. They are only for output reporting. |
Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Dampers.Exponential | Improved documentation of the flow resistance. |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions | |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.ReaderTMY3 |
Added the option to use a constant, an input signal or the weather file as the source
for the ceiling height, the total sky cover, the opaque sky cover, the dew point temperature,
and the infrared horizontal radiation HInfHor .
|
The following existing components have been improved in a non-backward compatible way:
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachinePolynomial | Moved the model to the package
Buildings.Obsolete ,
as this model is planned to be removed in future versions.
The conversion script should update old instances of
this model automatically in Dymola.
Users should change their models to use a flow machine from
the package Buildings.Fluid.Movers .
|
Buildings.Fluid.Storage.ExpansionVessel | Simplified the model to have a constant pressure.
The following non-backward compatible changes
have been made.
|
Buildings.Fluid.Storage.StratifiedEnhancedInternalHex | Revised the model as the old version required the porta
of the heat exchanger to be located higher than portb.
This makes sense if the heat exchanger is used to heat up the tank,
but not if it is used to cool down a tank, such as in a cooling plant.
The following parameters were changed:
|
The following critical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that can lead to wrong simulation results):
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Boreholes.UTube | Reimplemented the resistor network inside the borehole
as the old implementation led to too slow a transient
response. This change also led to the removal of the
parameters B0 and B1
as the new implementation does not require them.
|
The following uncritical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that do not lead to wrong simulation results, e.g., units are wrong or errors in documentation):
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Boreholes.BaseClasses.HexInternalElement | Corrected error in documentation which stated a wrong default value for the pipe spacing. |
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.BaseClasses.ntu_epsilonZ() | Added dummy argument to function call of Internal.solve
to avoid a warning during model check in Dymola 2015.
|
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DryEffectivenessNTU | Changed assert statement to avoid comparing
enumeration with an integer, which triggers a warning
in Dymola 2015.
|
Buildings.Rooms.Constructions.Examples.ExteriorWall Buildings.Rooms.Constructions.Examples.ExteriorWallWithWindow Buildings.Rooms.Constructions.Examples.ExteriorWallTwoWindows |
Corrected wrong assignment of parameter in instance bouConExt(conMod=...)
which was set to an interior instead of an exterior convection model.
|
Buildings.Utilities.Psychrometrics.Functions.TDewPoi_pW() | Added dummy argument to function call of Internal.solve
to avoid a warning during model check in Dymola 2015.
|
The following issues have been fixed:
Buildings.Fluid | |
#196 | Change capacity location in borehole grout. |
Extends from Modelica.Icons.ReleaseNotes (Icon for release notes in documentation).
Version 1.5 build 3
Version 1.5 build 3 is a maintenance release that corrects an error in Buildings.Fluid.MassExchangers.HumidifierPrescribed. It is fully compatible with version 1.5 build 2.
The following critical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that can lead to wrong simulation results):
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.MassExchangers.HumidifierPrescribed | Corrected the enthalpy balance, which caused the latent heat flow rate to be added twice to the fluid stream. This closes issue #197. |
The following issues have been fixed:
HumidifierPrescribed accounts twice for latent heat gain | |
#197 | This issue has been addressed by correcting the latent heat added to the fluid stream. |
Extends from Modelica.Icons.ReleaseNotes (Icon for release notes in documentation).
Version 1.5 build 2
Version 1.5 build 2 is a maintenance release that corrects an error in Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DryCoilDiscretized and in Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.WetCoilDiscretized. It is fully compatible with version 1.5 build 1.
The following critical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that can lead to wrong simulation results):
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DryCoilDiscretized Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.WetCoilDiscretized |
Corrected wrong connect statements that caused the last register to have no liquid flow. This closes issue #194. |
The following issues have been fixed:
DryCoilDiscretized model not using last register, liquid flow path | |
#194 | This issue has been addressed by correcting the connect statements. |
Extends from Modelica.Icons.ReleaseNotes (Icon for release notes in documentation).
Version 1.5 build 1
Version 1.5 build 1 is a major release that contains new packages with models for solar collectors and for the Facility for Low Energy Experiments (FLEXLAB) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
This release also contains a major revision of all info sections to correct invalid html syntax.
The package Buildings.HeatTransfer.Radiosity
has been revised to comply
with the Modelica language specification.
The package Buildings.Rooms
has been revised to aid implementation of
non-uniformly mixed room air models.
This release also contains various corrections that avoid warnings during translation
when used with Modelica 3.2.1.
Various models have been revised to increase compatibility with OpenModelica.
However, currently only a subset of the models work with OpenModelica.
The following new libraries have been added:
Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors | Library with solar collectors. |
Buildings.Rooms.FLEXLAB | Package with models for test cells of LBNL's FLEXLAB (Facility for Low Energy Experiments in Buildings). |
Buildings.Utilities.IO.FLEXLAB | Package that demonstrates two-way data exchange between Modelica and LBNL's FLEXLAB (Facility for Low Energy Experiments in Buildings). |
The following new components have been added to existing libraries:
Buildings.Fluid.Storage | |
Buildings.Fluid.Storage.StratifiedEnhancedInternalHex | Added a model of a tank with built-in heat exchanger. This model may be used together with solar thermal plants. |
Buildings.Resources | |
Buildings.Resources.Include | Added an Include folder and the bcvtb.h
header file to it to fix compilation errors in BCVTB example files.
|
The following existing components have been improved in a backward compatible way:
Buildings.BoundaryConditions | |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.ReaderTMY3 Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.BaseClasses.getAbsolutePath |
Improved the algorithm that determines the absolute path of the file.
Now weather files are searched in the path specified, and if not found, the urls
file:// , modelica:// and modelica://Buildings
are added in this order to search for the weather file.
This allows using the data reader without having to specify an absolute path,
as long as the Buildings library
is on the MODELICAPATH .
|
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortConservationEquation | Reformulated computation of outlet properties to avoid an event at zero mass flow rate. |
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.YorkCalc | Simplified the implementation for the situation if
allowReverseFlow=false .
Avoided the use of the conditionally enabled variables sta_a and
sta_b as this was not proper use of the Modelica syntax.
|
Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.Examples.ReverseFlowHumidifier | Changed one instance of Modelica.Fluid.Sources.MassFlowSource_T ,
that was connected to the two fluid streams,
to two instances, each having half the mass flow rate.
This is required for the model to work with Modelica 3.2.1 due to the
change introduced in
ticket #739.
|
Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.EnthalpyFlowRate Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.SensibleEnthalpyFlowRate Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.LatentEnthalpyFlowRate Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.VolumeFlowRate |
Removed default value tau=0 as the base class
already sets tau=1 .
This change was made so that all sensors use the same default value.
|
Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.TraceSubstancesTwoPort | Added default value C_start=0 .
|
Buildings.HeatTransfer | |
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Data.OpaqueConstructions.Generic | Changed the annotation of the
instance material from
Evaluate=true to Evaluate=false .
This is required to allow changing the
material properties after compilation.
Note, however, that the number of state variables in
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Data.BaseClasses.Material
are only computed when the model is translated, because
the number of state variables is fixed
at compilation time.
|
Buildings.Utilities | |
Buildings.Utilities.Diagnostics.AssertEquality Buildings.Utilities.Diagnostics.AssertInequality |
Added time in print statement as OpenModelica,
in its error message, does not output the time
when the assert is triggered.
|
The following existing components have been improved in a non-backward compatible way:
Buildings.Airflow | |
Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.Orifice Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.EffectiveAirLeakageArea Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.ZonalFlow_ACS |
Changed the parameter useConstantDensity to
useDefaultProperties to use consistent names
within this package.
A conversion script in Resources/Scripts/Dymola
can be used to update old models that use this parameter.
|
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.IndexWater | Renamed class to
Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.IndexMassFraction
as it is applicable for all mass fraction sensors.
|
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ConstantEffectiveness Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DryEffectivenessNTU Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.ConservationEquation Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticFourPortHeatMassExchanger Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortConservationEquation Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortHeatMassExchanger Buildings.Fluid.MassExchangers.ConstantEffectiveness Buildings.Fluid.MassExchangers.HumidifierPrescribed Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.BaseClasses.PartialMixingVolumeWaterPort Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolume Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolumeDryAir Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolumeMoistAir Buildings.Fluid.Storage.ExpansionVessel |
Changed the input connector mXi_flow (or mXi1_flow
and mXi2_flow ) to mWat_flow (or mWat1_flow
and mWat2_flow ).
This change has been done as declaring mXi_flow is ambiguous
because it does not specify what other species are added unless a mass flow rate
m_flow is also known. To avoid this confusion, the connector variables
have been renamed.
The equations that were used were, however, correct.
This addresses issue #165.

Buildings.Fluid.Storage.BaseClasses.IndirectTankHeatExchanger Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.PartialResistance Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.BaseClasses.Pipe Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.FixedResistanceDpM Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.LosslessPipe Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Boreholes.BaseClasses.BoreholeSegment Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Boreholes.UTube Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.RadiantSlabs.ParallelCircuitsSlab Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.FourPortHeatMassExchanger Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialFourPortInterface Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortInterface Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticFourPortHeatMassExchanger Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortHeatMassExchanger Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.TwoPortHeatMassExchanger Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.BaseClasses.PartialMixingVolume Buildings.Fluid.Movers.BaseClasses.ControlledFlowMachine Buildings.Fluid.Movers.BaseClasses.IdealSource Buildings.Fluid.Movers.BaseClasses.PrescribedFlowMachine |
Removed the computation of V_flow and removed the parameter
show_V_flow .
The reason is that the computation of V_flow required
the use of sta_a (to compute the density),
but sta_a is also a variable that is conditionally
enabled. However, this was not correct Modelica syntax as conditional variables
can only be used in a connect
statement, not in an assignment. Dymola 2014 FD01 beta3 is checking
for this incorrect syntax. Hence, V_flow was removed as its
conditional implementation would require a rather cumbersome implementation
that uses a new connector that carries the state of the medium.
|
Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes | Removed Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolumeDryAir
as this model is no longer used. The model
Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolume
can be used instead of.Removed base class Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.BaseClasses.PartialMixingVolumeWaterPort
as this model is no longer used.
|
Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.Examples.TraceSubstances | Renamed example from ExtraProperty to
TraceSubstances in order to use the same name
as the sensor.
|
Buildings.Fluid.Sources.PrescribedExtraPropertyFlowRate | Renamed model toTraceSubstancesFlowRate to
use the same terminology than the Modelica Standard Library.The conversion script updates existing models that instantiate this model. |
Buildings.Fluid.Sources.Examples.PrescribedExtraPropertyFlow | Renamed example toTraceSubstancesFlowRate
in order to use the same name as the source model.
|
Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.BaseClasses.PartialMixingVolume Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.Pipe Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.RadiantSlabs.ParallelCircuitsSlab Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.RadiantSlabs.SingleCircuitSlab Buildings.Fluid.Movers.BaseClasses.ControlledFlowMachine |
Renamed X_nominal to X_default
or X_start , where X may be
state , rho , or mu ,
depending on whether the medium default values or the start values
are used in the computation of the state
and derived quantities.

Changed the connectors for the radiosity model.
The previous implemenation declared the radiosity as a
flow variables, but the implementation did not use
a potential variable.Therefore, the radiosity was the only variable in the connector, which is not allowed for flow variables.
This change required a reformulation of models because with the new formulation,
the incoming and outcoming radiosity are both non-negative values.
This addresses issue #158.

Redesigned the implementation of the room model and its base classes. This redesign separates convection from radiation, and it provides one composite model for the convection and the heat and mass balance in the room. This change was done to allow an implementation of the room air heat and mass balance that does not assume uniformly mixed room air. |
Buildings.HeatTransfer | |
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Convection.Functions.HeatFlux.rayleigh | Renamed function from raleigh to rayleigh .
|
The following critical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that can lead to wrong simulation results):
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.SpecificEntropyTwoPort | Corrected wrong computation of the dynamics used for the sensor signal. |
Buildings.HeatTransfer | |
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Data.GlazingSystems.DoubleClearAir13Clear | Corrected the glass layer thickness, which was 5.7 mm instead of 3 mm, as the documentation states. |
The following uncritical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that do not lead to wrong simulation results, e.g., units are wrong or errors in documentation):

Replaced wrong attribute quantity="Temperature"
with quantity="ThermodynamicTemperature" .
|
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Data.Fuels.Generic | Corrected wrong type for mCO2 .
It was declared as Modelica.SIunits.MassFraction ,
which is incorrect.
|
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.Correlations.BaseClasses.Bounds | Corrected wrong type for FRWat_min , FRWat_max
and liqGasRat_max .
They were declared as Modelica.SIunits.MassFraction ,
which is incorrect as, for example, FRWat_max can be larger than one.
|
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ConstantEffectiveness Buildings.Fluid.MassExchangers.ConstantEffectiveness |
Corrected error in the documentation that was not updated when the implementation of zero flow rate was revised. |
Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.ConservationEquation | Corrected the syntax error
Medium.ExtraProperty C[Medium.nC](each nominal=C_nominal)
to
Medium.ExtraProperty C[Medium.nC](nominal=C_nominal)
because C_nominal is a vector.
This syntax error caused a compilation error in OpenModelica.
|
Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.SensibleEnthalpyFlowRate Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.LatentEnthalpyFlowRate Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.MassFraction Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.MassFractionTwoPort |
Changed medium declaration in the extends statement
to replaceable to avoid a translation error in
OpenModelica.
|
Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.TraceSubstances Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.TraceSubstancesTwoPort |
Corrected syntax errors in setting nominal value for output signal and for state variable. This eliminates a compilation error in OpenModelica. |
Buildings.Fluid.Sources.TraceSubstancesFlowSource | Added missing each in declaration of
C_in_internal .
This eliminates a compilation error in OpenModelica.
|
Buildings.Utilities.Python27 | |
Buildings.Utilities.IO.Python27.Functions.exchange | Corrected error in C code that lead to message
'module' object has no attribute 'argv'
when a python module accessed sys.argv .
|
The following issues have been fixed:
Verify mass and species balance | |
#165 | This issue has been addressed by renaming the connectors to avoid an ambiguity in the model equation. The equations were correct. |
Remove flow attribute from radiosity connectors | |
#158 | This issue has been addressed by reformulating the radiosity models. With the new implementation, incoming and outgoing radiosity are non-negative quantities. |

Version 1.4 build 1
Version 1.4 build 1 contains the new package Buildings.Utilities.IO.Python27 that allows calling Python functions from Modelica. It also contains in the package Buildings.HeatTransfer.Conduction.SingleLayer a new model for heat conduction in phase change material. This model can be used as a layer of the room heat transfer model.
Non-backward compatible changes had to be introduced
in the valve models
Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves to fully comply with the Modelica language specification,
and in the models in the package
Buildings.Utilities.Diagnostics
as they used the cardinality
function which is deprecated in the Modelica
Language Specification.
See below for details.
The following new libraries have been added:
Buildings.Utilities.IO.Python27 | Package that contains blocks and functions that embed Python 2.7 in Modelica. Data can be sent to Python functions and received from Python functions. This allows for example data analysis in Python as part of a Modelica model, or data exchange as part of a hardware-in-the-loop simulation in which Python is used to communicate with hardware. |
The following new components have been added to existing libraries:
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData | |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.BaseClasses.getAbsolutePath | This function is used by the weather data reader to set the path to the weather file relative to the root directory of the Buildings library. |
The following existing components have been improved in a backward compatible way:
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.BaseClasses.PartialMixingVolume | Removed the check of multiple connections to the same element
of a fluid port, as this check required the use of the deprecated
cardinality function.
|
Buildings.HeatTransfer | |
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Conduction.SingleLayer | Added option to model layers with phase change material. |
Buildings.Rooms | |
Buildings.Rooms.BaseClasses.InfraredRadiationExchange | Removed the use of the cardinality function
as this function is deprecated in the Modelica Language Specification.
|
The following existing components have been improved in a non-backward compatible way:
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves | All valves now require the declaration of dp_nominal
if the parameter assignment is
CvData = Buildings.Fluid.Types.CvTypes.OpPoint .
This change was needed because in the previous version,
dp_nominal had
a default value of 6000 Pascals. However, if
CvData >< Buildings.Fluid.Types.CvTypes.OpPoint , then
dp_nominal is computed in the initial algorithm section and hence
providing a default value is not allowed according to
the Modelica Language Specification.
Hence, it had to be removed.As part of this change, we set dp(nominal=6000) for all valves,
because the earlier formulation uses a value that is not known during compilation,
and hence leads to an error in Dymola 2014.
|
Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolumeDryAir Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolumeMoistAir |
Removed the use of the deprecated
cardinality function.
Therefore, now all input signals must be connected..
|
Buildings.Utilities | |
Buildings.Utilities.Diagnostics.AssertEquality Buildings.Utilities.Diagnostics.AssertInequality |
Removed the option to not connect input signals, as this
required the use of the cardinality function which
is deprecated in the MSL, and not correctly implemented in OpenModelica.
Therefore, if using these models, both input signals must be connected.
|
Buildings.Utilities.Math.Functions.splineDerivatives | Removed the default value
input Boolean ensureMonotonicity=isMonotonic(y, strict=false)
as the Modelica language specification is not clear whether defaults can be computed
or must be constants.
|
The following critical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that can lead to wrong simulation results):
Buildings.Controls | |
Buildings.Controls.SetPoints.HotWaterTemperatureReset | Corrected error that led to wrong results if the room air temperature is
different from its nominal value TRoo_nominal .
This fixes issue 74.
|
Buildings.HeatTransfer | |
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.RadiantSlabs.SingleCircuitSlab Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.RadiantSlabs.ParallelCircuitSlab |
Fixed bug in the assignment of the fictitious thermal resistance by replacing
RFic[nSeg](each G=A/Rx) with
RFic[nSeg](each G=A/nSeg/Rx) .
This fixes issue 79.
|
Buildings.Utilities | |
Buildings.Utilities.Diagnostics.AssertEquality Buildings.Utilities.Diagnostics.AssertInequality |
Replaced when test with if test as
equations within a when section are only evaluated
when the condition becomes true.
This fixes issue 72.
|
The following uncritical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that do not lead to wrong simulation results, e.g., units are wrong or errors in documentation):
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.ThreeWayEqualPercentageLinear Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.ThreeWayLinear |
The documenation was
Fraction Kv(port_1->port_2)/Kv(port_3->port_2) instead of
Fraction Kv(port_3->port_2)/Kv(port_1->port_2).
Because the parameter set correctly its attributes
min=0 and max=1 ,
instances of these models used the correct value.
|
Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.BaseClasses.ValveParameters | Removed stray backslash in write statement. |
Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.ConservationEquation Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortConservationEquation Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortHeatMassExchanger |
Removed wrong unit attribute of COut .
|
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.BaseClasses.HexElement | Changed the redeclaration of vol2 to be replaceable,
as vol2 is replaced in some models.
|
The following issues have been fixed:
Add explanation of nStaRef. | |
#70 |
Described in
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Data.Solids
how the parameter nStaRef is used
to compute the spatial grid that is used for simulating transient heat conduction.
|
Assert statement does not fire. | |
#72 |
The blocks Buildings.Utilities.Diagnostics.AssertEquality and
Buildings.Utilities.Diagnostics.AssertInequality did not fire because
the test on the time was in a when instead of an if statement.
This was wrong because when sections are only evaluated
when the condition becomes true.
|
HotWaterTemperatureReset computes wrong results if room temperature differs from nominal value.
|

Version 1.3 build 1
In version 1.3 build 1, models for direct evaporative cooling coils with multiple stages or with a variable speed compressor have been added. This version also contains improvements to the fan and pump models to better treat zero mass flow rate. Various other improvements have been made to improve the numerics and to use consistent variable names. A detailed list of changes is shown below.
The following new libraries have been added:
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DXCoils | Library with direct evaporative cooling coils. |
The following new components have been added to existing libraries:
Buildings.Examples | |
Buildings.Examples.ChillerPlant.DataCenterContinuousTimeControl | Added chilled water plant model with continuous time control that
replaces the discrete time control in
Buildings.Examples.ChillerPlant.DataCenterDiscreteTimeControl .
|
Buildings.Utilities | |
Buildings.Utilities.Psychrometrics.Functions.X_pSatpphi | Function that computes moisture concentration based on saturation pressure, total pressure and relative humidity. |
Buildings.Utilities.Psychrometrics.TWetBul_TDryBulPhi | Block that computes the wet bulb temperature for given dry bulb temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure. |
Buildings.Utilities.Psychrometrics.WetBul_pTX | Block that computes the temperature and mass fraction at the wet bulb state for given dry bulb temperature, species concentration and atmospheric pressure. |
The following existing components have been improved in a backward compatible way:
Buildings.BoundaryConditions | |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.ReaderTMY3 | Added computation of the wet bulb temperature.
Computing the wet bulb temperature introduces a nonlinear
equation. As we have not observed an increase in computing time
because of computing the wet bulb temperature, it is computed
by default. By setting the parameter
computeWetBulbTemperature=false , the computation of the
wet bulb temperature can be removed.
|
Buildings.Controls | |
Buildings.Controls.SetPoints.OccupancySchedule | Added pre operator and relaxed tolerance in assert statement.
|
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachine_dp Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachine_m_flow Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachine_Nrpm Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachine_y |
Reformulated implementation of efficiency model to avoid a division by zero at zero mass flow rate for models in which a user specifies a power instead of an efficiency performance curve. |
Buildings.Utilities | |
Buildings.Utilities.Psychrometrics.TWetBul_TDryBulXi | Added option to approximate the wet bulb temperature using an explicit equation. Reformulated the original model to change the dimension of the nonlinear system of equations from two to one. |
The following existing components have been improved in a non-backward compatible way:
Buildings.BoundaryConditions | |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.ReaderTMY3 Buildings.BoundaryConditions.Types |
Improved the optional inputs for the radiation data global horizontal, diffuse horizontal and direct normal radiation. If a user specifies two of them, the third will be automatically calculated. |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SkyTemperature.BlackBody | Renamed radHor to radHorIR
to indicate that the radiation is in the infrared
spectrum.
|
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.BaseClasses.DoorDiscretized Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.DoorDiscretizedOpen Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.DoorDiscretizedOperable Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.Orifice Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.ZonalFlow_ACS Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.BaseClasses.PartialDamperExponential Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Dampers.MixingBox Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Dampers.VAVBoxExponential Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.PartialResistance Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.TwoPortHeatMassExchanger Buildings.Fluid.Movers.BaseClasses.PowerInterface Buildings.Fluid.Storage.BaseClasses.Buoyancy Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.BaseClasses.MassExchange |
Renamed protected parameters for consistency with the naming conventions.
In previous releases, fluid properties had the suffix 0
or _nominal instead of _default when they
where computed based on the medium default properties.
|
Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.SensibleEnthalpyFlowRate Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.LatentEnthalpyFlowRate |
Moved computation of parameter i_w to new base class
Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.IndexWater
The value of this parameter is now assigned dynamically and does not require to be specified
by the user.

Improved the documentation.
|
The following critical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that can lead to wrong simulation results):
Buildings.Examples | |
Buildings.Examples.ChillerPlant.DataCenterDiscreteTimeControl | Fixed error in wet bulb temperature. The previous version used a model to compute the wet bulb temperature that takes as an input the relative humidity, but required mass fraction as an input. |
The following uncritical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that do not lead to wrong simulation results, e.g., units are wrong or errors in documentation):
Buildings.BoundaryConditions | |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.ReaderTMY3 Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SkyTemperature.BlackBody |
Renamed radHor to radHorIR .
|
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.FlowModels.Examples.InverseFlowFunction | Fixed error in the documentation. |
Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.TwoPortHeatMassExchanger | Fixed broken link in the documentation. |
Buildings.Fluid.Movers.BaseClasses.Characteristics.powerParameters | Fixed wrong displayUnit and

Version 1.2 build 1
In version 1.2 build 1, models for radiant slabs and window overhangs and sidefins have been added. This version also contains various improvements to existing models. A detailed list of changes is shown below.
The following new libraries have been added:
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.RadiantSlabs | Package with models for radiant slabs with pipes or a capillary heat exchanger embedded in the construction. |
Buildings.Fluid.Data.Pipes | Package with records for pipes. |
The following new components have been added to existing libraries:
Buildings.HeatTransfer | |
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.FixedShade Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.Overhang Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.SideFins |
For windows with either an overhang or side fins, these blocks output the fraction of the area that is sun exposed. |
Buildings.Rooms | |
Buildings.Rooms.Examples.BESTEST | Added BESTEST validation models for case 610, 620, 630, 640, 650FF, 650, 920, 940, 950FF, 950, and 960. |
The following existing components have been improved in a backward compatible way:
Buildings.BoundaryConditions | |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.ReaderTMY3 | Removed assignment of HGloHor_in in its declaration,
because this gives an overdetermined system if the input connector
is used.Added new sub-bus that contains the solar position. This allows reusing the solar position in various other models. |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.DiffuseIsotropic Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.DiffusePerez Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.BaseClasses.DiffuseIsotropic Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.BaseClasses.DiffusePerez |
Added optional output of diffuse radiation from the sky and ground. This allows reusing the diffuse radiation in solar thermal collector. |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.BaseClasses.SolarAzimuth | Changed implementation to avoid an event at solar noon. |
Buildings.HeatTransfer | |
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Data.BoreholeFillings |
Renamed class to BoreholeFillings
to be consistent with data records being plural.
|
Buildings.Media | |
Buildings.Media.GasesPTDecoupled.MoistAir Buildings.Media.GasesPTDecoupled.MoistAirUnsaturated Buildings.Media.PerfectGases.MoistAir Buildings.Media.PerfectGases.MoistAirUnsaturated Buildings.Media.GasesConstantDensity.MoistAir Buildings.Media.GasesConstantDensity.MoistAirUnsaturated |
Added redeclaration of ThermodynamicState
to avoid a warning
during model check and translation.
|
Buildings.Rooms | |
Buildings.Rooms.MixedAir | Added a check that ensures that the number of surfaces
are equal to the length of the parameter that contains
the surface area, and added a check to ensure that no surface area
is equal to zero. These checks help detecting erroneous declarations
of the room model. The changes were done in
Buildings.Rooms.MixedAir.PartialSurfaceInterface .
|
The following existing components have been improved in a non-backward compatible way:
Buildings.Rooms | |
Buildings.Rooms.MixedAir | Added optional modeling of window overhangs and side fins.
The modeling of window overhangs and side fins required the
introduction of the new parameters
hWin for the window height and
wWin for the window width, in addition to the
parameters ove and sidFin which are used
to declare the geometry of overhangs and side fins.
The parameters hWin and wWin
replace the previously used parameter AWin for the
window area.
Users need to manually replace AWin with hWin
and wWin when updating models
from a previous version of the library.See the information section in Buildings.Rooms.MixedAir for how to use these models. |
The following critical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that can lead to wrong simulation results):
Buildings.Controls | |
Buildings.Controls.SetPoints.OccupancySchedule | Fixed a bug that caused an error in the schedule if the simulation start time was negative or equal to the first entry in the schedule. |
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Storage.BaseClass.ThirdOrderStratifier | Revised the implementation to reduce the temperature overshoot. |
Buildings.HeatTransfer | |
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.GlassLayer | Fixed the bug in the temperature linearization and in the heat flow through the glass layer if the transmissivity of glass in the infrared regime is non-zero. |
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.CenterOfGlass | Fixed a bug in the parameter assignment of the instance glass .
Previously, the infrared emissivity of surface a was assigned to the surface b.
|
Buildings.Utilities | |
Buildings.Utilities.IO.BCVTB | Added a call to Buildings.Utilities.IO.BCVTB.BaseClasses.exchangeReals
in the initial algorithm section.
This is needed to propagate the initial condition to the server.
It also leads to one more data exchange, which is correct and avoids the
warning message in Ptolemy that says that the simulation reached its stop time
one time step prior to the final time.
|
The following uncritical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that do not lead to wrong simulation results, e.g., units are wrong or errors in documentation):
Buildings.BoundaryConditions | |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.ReaderTMY3 | Corrected the documentation of the unit requirement for input files, parameters and connectors. |
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialFourPortInterface Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortInterface |
Replaced the erroneous function call Medium.density with
Medium1.density and Medium2.density in
PartialFourPortInterface .
Changed condition to remove sta_a1 and
sta_a2 in PartialFourPortInterface , and
sta_a in PartialTwoPortInterface , to also
compute the state at the inlet port if show_V_flow=true .The previous implementation resulted in a translation error if show_V_flow=true , but worked correctly otherwise
because the erroneous function call is removed if show_V_flow=false .
|
Buildings.Fluid.Chillers.Examples.BaseClasses.PartialElectric | Corrected the nominal mass flow rate used in the mass flow source. |
The following issues have been fixed:
Heat transfer in glass layer | |
#56 | Fixed bug in heat flow through the glass layer if the infrared transmissivity is non-zero. |
#57 | Fixed bug in temperature linearization of window glass. |

Version 1.1 build 1
Version 1.1 build 1 contains improvements to models that address numerical problems. In particular, flow machines and actuators now have an optional filter that converts step changes in the input signal to a smooth change in speed or actuator position. Also, ( Buildings.Examples.Tutorial) has been added to provide step-by-step instruction for how to build system models.
The following new libraries have been added:
Buildings.Examples.Tutorial | Tutorial with step by step instructions for how to build system models. |
The following new components have been added to existing libraries:
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.Pipe | Added a model for a pipe with transport delay and optional heat exchange with the environment. |
Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.UsersGuide | Added a user's guide for actuator models. |
Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.ConservationEquation Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticConservationEquation |
These base classes have been added to simplify the implementation of dynamic and steady-state thermofluid models. |
Buildings.Fluid.Data.Fuels | Package with physical properties of fuels that are used by the boiler model. |
The following existing components have been improved in a backward compatible way:
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Dampers.Exponential Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Dampers.VAVBoxExponential Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Dampers.MixingBox Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Dampers.MixingBoxMinimumFlow Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.ThreeWayEqualPercentageLinear Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.ThreeWayLinear Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.TwoWayEqualPercentage Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.TwoWayLinear Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.TwoWayQuickOpening |
Added an optional 2nd order lowpass filter for the input signal.
The filter approximates the travel time of the actuators.
It also makes the system of equations easier to solve
because a step change in the input signal causes a gradual change in the actuator
position. Note that this filter affects the time response of closed loop control. Therefore, enabling the filter may require retuning of control loops. See the user's guide of the Buildings.Fluid.Actuators package. |
Buildings.Fluid.Boilers.BoilerPolynomial | Added computation of fuel usage and improved the documentation. |
Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachine_y Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachine_Nrpm Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachine_dp Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachine_m_flow |
Added a 2nd order lowpass filter to the input signal.
The filter approximates the startup and shutdown transients of fans or pumps.
It also makes the system of equations easier to solve
because a step change in the input signal causes a gradual change in the
mass flow rate. Note that this filter affects the time response of closed loop control. Therefore, enabling the filter may require retuning of control loops. See the user's guide of the Buildings.Fluid.Movers package. |
Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortHeatMassExchanger | Changed model to use graphical implementation of models for pressure drop and conservation equations. |
Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.PartialResistance Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.FixedResistanceDpM Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.BaseClasses.PartialTwoWayValve Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.BaseClasses.PartialDamperExponential |
Revised base classes and models to simplify object inheritance tree.
Set m_flow_small to final in Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.PartialResistance,
and removed its assignment in the other classes.
|
Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.FixedResistanceDpM Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.SplitterFixedResistanceDpM |
Improved documentation. |
Buildings.HeatTransfer | |
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.Functions.glassProperty | Added the function glassPropertyUncoated that calculates the property for uncoated glass.
|
Buildings.Rooms | |
Buildings.Rooms.MixedAir | Changed model to use new implementation of Buildings.HeatTransfer.Radiosity.OutdoorRadiosity in its base classes. This change leads to the use of the same equations for the radiative heat transfer between window and ambient as is used for the opaque constructions. |
The following existing components have been improved in a non-backward compatible way:
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.ThreeWayEqualPercentageLinear Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.ThreeWayLinear Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.TwoWayEqualPercentage Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.TwoWayLinear Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.TwoWayQuickOpening |
Changed models to allow modeling of a fixed resistance that is
within the controlled flow leg. This allows in some cases
to avoid a nonlinear equation if a flow resistance is
in series to the valve.
This change required changing the parameter for the valve resistance
dp_nominal to dpValve_nominal ,
and introducing the parameter
dpFixed_nominal , with dpFixed_nominal=0
as its default value.
Previous models that instantiate these components need to change the
assignment of dp_nominal to an assignment of
dpValve_nominal .
See also
Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.UsersGuide.
|
Buildings.HeatTransfer | |
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Radiosity.OutdoorRadiosity Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.ExteriorHeatTransfer |
Changed model to use new implementation of Buildings.HeatTransfer.Radiosity.OutdoorRadiosity. This change leads to the use of the same equations for the radiative heat transfer between window and ambient as is used for the opaque constructions. |
Buildings.Controls | |
Buildings.Controls.SetPoints.OccupancySchedule | Changed model to fix a bug that caused the output of the block
to be incorrect when the simulation started
at a time different from zero.
When fixing this bug, the parameter startTime was removed,
and the parameter endTime was renamed to period .
The period always starts at t=0 seconds.
|
The following critical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that can lead to wrong simulation results):
Buildings.Controls | |
Buildings.Controls.SetPoints.OccupancySchedule | The output of the block was incorrect when the simulation started at a time different from zero. |
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers | |
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DryCoilCounterFlow Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.WetCoilCounterFlow |
Corrected error in assignment of dp2_nominal .
The previous assignment caused a pressure drop in all except one element,
instead of the opposite. This caused too high a flow resistance
of the heat exchanger.
|
The following uncritical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that do not lead to wrong simulation results, e.g., units are wrong or errors in documentation):
Buildings.BoundaryConditions | |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SkyTemperature.BlackBody | Fixed error in BlackBody model that was causing a translation error when calTSky was set to Buildings.BoundaryConditions.Types.SkyTemperatureCalculation.HorizontalRadiation .
|
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.TwoPortHeatMassExchanger | Fixed wrong class reference in information section. |
Buildings.Utilities | |
Buildings.Utilities.IO.BCVTB.Examples.MoistAir | Updated fan parameters, which were still for version 0.12 of the Buildings library and hence caused a translation error with version 1.0 or higher. |
The following issues have been fixed:
Exterior longwave radiation exchange in window model | |
#51 | Changed model to use new implementation of Buildings.HeatTransfer.Radiosity.OutdoorRadiosity. This change leads to the use of the same equations for the radiative heat transfer between window and ambient as is used for the opaque constructions. |
#53 | Fixed bug in Buildings.Controls.SetPoints.OccupancySchedule that led to wrong results when the simulation started at a time different from zero. |

Version 1.0 build 2
Version 1.0 build 2 has been released to correct model errors that were present in version 1.0 build 1. Both versions are compatible. In addition, version 1.0 build 2 contains improved documentation of various example models.
The following existing components have been improved in a backward compatible way:
Buildings.Controls | |
Buildings.Controls.Continuous Buildings.Controls.Discrete Buildings.Controls.SetPoints |
Improved documentation of models and of examples. |
Buildings.Airflow.Multizone | |
Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.DoorDiscretizedOpen Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.DoorDiscretizedOperable |
Changed the computation of the discharge coefficient to use the
nominal density instead of the actual density.
Computing sqrt(2/rho) sometimes causes warnings from the solver,
as it seems to try negative values for the density during iterative solutions.
|
Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.Examples | Improved documentation of examples. |
Buildings.Examples.DualFanDualDuct | |
Buildings.Examples.DualFanDualDuct.Controls.RoomMixingBox | Improved control of minimum air flow rate to avoid overheating. |
The following critical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that can lead to wrong simulation results):
Buildings.HeatTransfer | |
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Convection.Exterior | Fixed error in assignment of wind-based convection coefficient. The old implementation did not take into account the surface roughness. |
Buildings.Rooms | |
Buildings.Rooms.BaseClasses.SolarRadiationExchange | In the previous version, the radiative properties of the long-wave spectrum instead of the solar spectrum have been used to compute the distribution of the solar radiation among the surfaces inside the room. |
Buildings.Rooms.BaseClasses.MixedAir | Added missing connect statement between window frame surface and window frame convection model. Prior to this bug fix, no convective heat transfer was computed between window frame and room air. |
Buildings.Rooms.BaseClasses.HeatGain | Fixed bug that caused convective heat gains to be removed from the room instead of added to the room. |
The following issues have been fixed:
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Boreholes | |
#45 | Dymola 2012 FD01 hangs when simulating a borehole heat exchanger.
This was caused by a wrong release of memory in freeArray.c .
|
Buildings.Rooms | |
#46 | The convective internal heat gain has the wrong sign. |

Version 1.0 build 1
Version 1.0 is the first official release of the Buildings
library.
Compared to the last pre-release, which is version 0.12, this version contains
new models as well as significant improvements to the model formulation
that leads to faster and more robust simulation. A detailed list of changes is shown below.
Version 1.0 is not backward compatible to version 0.12, i.e., models developed with versions 0.12 will require some changes in their parameters to work with version 1.0. The conversion script Buildings/Resources/Scripts/Dymola/ConvertBuildings_from_0.12_to_1.0.mos can help in converting old models to this version of the library.
The following new libraries have been added:
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Boreholes | This is a library with a model for a borehole heat exchanger. |
The following new components have been added to existing libraries:
Buildings.Airflow.Multizone | |
Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.BaseClasses.windPressureLowRise | Added a function that computes wind pressure on the facade of low-rise buildings. |
Buildings.Examples | |
Buildings.Examples.ChillerPlant | Added an example for a chilled water plant model. |
Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces | |
Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.UsersGuide | Added a user's guide that describes the main functionality of all base classes. |
Buildings.Fluid.Sources | |
Buildings.Fluid.Sources.Outside_Cp Buildings.Fluid.Sources.Outside_CpLowRise |
Added models to compute wind pressure on building facades. |
Buildings.HeatTransfer | |
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Conductor | Added a model for heat conduction in circular coordinates. |
Buildings.Rooms.Examples | |
Buildings.Rooms.Examples.BESTEST | Added BESTEST validation models. |
Buildings.Utilities.Math | |
Buildings.Utilities.Math.Functions.cubicHermiteLinearExtrapolation Buildings.Utilities.Math.Functions.splineDerivatives. |
Added functions for cubic hermite spline interpolation, with option for monotone increasing (or decreasing) spline. |
The following existing components have been improved in a backward compatible way:
Buildings.Airflow.Multizone | |
Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.BaseClasses.powerLaw | This function has been reimplemented to handle zero flow rate in a more robust and more efficient way. This change improves all components that model flow resistance in the package Buildings.Airflow.Multizone. |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData | |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.ReaderTMY3 | This model has now the option of using a constant value, using the data from the weather file, or from an input connector for 7 variables, including atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, dry bulb temperature, global horizontal radiation, diffuse horizontal radiation, wind direction and wind speed. |
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.BaseClasses.PartialActuator Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.BaseClasses.PartialDamperExponential Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.BaseClasses.PartialTwoWayValve Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.PartialResistance Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.FlowModels.basicFlowFunction_dp Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.FlowModels.basicFlowFunction_m_flow Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortHeatMassExchanger |
The computation of the linearized flow resistance has been moved from
the functions to the model, i.e., into an equation section.
If the linear implementation is in a function body, then a symbolic processor
may not invert the equation. This can lead to systems of coupled equations in
cases where an explicit solution is possible.
In addition, the handling of zero flow rate has been improved for the nonlinear
pressure drop model.
These improvements affect all models in Buildings.Fluid that compute
flow resistance. |
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers | |
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.HeaterCoolerPrescribed | This model can now be configured as a steady-state or dynamic model. |
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DryCoilCounterFlow Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.WetCoilCounterFlow Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DryCoilDiscretized Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.WetCoilDiscretized |
The implementation for handling zero flow rate, if the models are used as steady-state models, have been improved. |
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.BaseClasses.ntu_epsilonZ | Changed implementation to use
Modelica.Media.Common.OneNonLinearEquation instead of
Buildings.Utilities.Math.BaseClasses.OneNonLinearEquation ,
which was removed for this version of the library.
|
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers | |
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.YorkCalc Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.FixedApproach |
These models are now based on a new base class Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.BaseClasses.CoolingTower .
This allows using the models as replaceable models without warning when checking the model.
|
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.YorkCalc | Changed implementation of performance curve to avoid division by zero. |
Buildings.Fluid.MassExchangers | |
Buildings.Fluid.MassExchangers.HumidifierPrescribed | This model can now be configured as a steady-state or dynamic model. |
Buildings.Fluid.Sensors | |
Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.*TwoPort | All sensors with two ports, except for the mass flow rate sensor, have been revised to add sensor dynamics. Adding sensor dynamics avoids numerical problems when mass flow rates are close to zero and the sensor is configured to allow flow reversal. See Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.UsersGuide for details. |
Buildings.Fluid.Storage | |
Buildings.Fluid.Storage.Stratified Buildings.Fluid.Storage.StratifiedEnhanced |
Changed the implementation of the model Buoyancy
to make it differentiable in the temperatures. |
Buildings.Media | |
Buildings.Media.Interfaces.PartialSimpleMedium Buildings.Media.Interfaces.PartialSimpleIdealGasMedium |
Moved the assignment of the stateSelect attribute for
the BaseProperties to the model
Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolume . This allows
to handle it differently for steady-state and dynamic models. |
Buildings.Utilities.Psychrometrics | |
Buildings.Utilities.Psychrometrics.Functions.TDewPoi_pW | Changed implementation to use
Modelica.Media.Common.OneNonLinearEquation instead of
Buildings.Utilities.Math.BaseClasses.OneNonLinearEquation ,
which was removed for this version of the library.
|
The following existing components have been improved in a non-backward compatible way:
Buildings.Airflow.Multizone | |
Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.MediumColumnDynamic | The implementation has been changed to better handle mass flow rates
near zero flow.
This required the introduction of a new parameter m_flow_nominal
that is used for the regularization near zero mass flow rate. |
Buildings.Fluid | |
Buildings.Fluid.Storage.Examples.Stratified Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes |
Removed the parameters use_T_start and h_start ,
as T_start is more convenient to use than h_start
for building simulation.
|
Buildings.Fluid.Boilers | |
Buildings.Fluid.Boilers.BoilerPolynomial | The parameter dT_nominal has been removed
as it can be computed from the parameter m_flow_nominal .
This change was needed to avoid a non-literal value for the nominal
attribute for the mass flow rate in the pressure drop model. |
Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes | |
Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolume Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolumeDryAir Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolumeMoistAir |
The implementation has been changed to better handle mass flow rates
near zero flow if the components have exactly two fluid ports connected.
This required the introduction of a new parameter m_flow_nominal
that is used for the regularization near zero mass flow rate. |
Buildings.Fluid.Movers | |
Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachine_y Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachine_Nrpm Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachine_dp Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachine_m_flow |
The performance data are now defined through records and not
through replaceable functions. The performance data now needs to be
declared in the formpressure(V_flow_nominal={0,V_flow_nominal,2*V_flow_nominal}, dp_nominal={2*dp_nominal,dp_nominal,0})where pressure is an instance of a record. A similar declaration is
used for power and efficiency.
The parameter m_flow_nominal has been removed from FlowMachine_y and FlowMachine_Nrpm. The parameter m_flow_max has been replaced by m_flow_nominal in FlowMachine_m_flow. The implementation of the pressure drop computation as a function of speed and volume flow rate has been revised to avoid a singularity near zero volume flow rate and zero speed. The implementation has also been simplified to avoid using two different flow paths if the models are configured for steady-state or dynamic simulation. |
Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces | |
Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.FourPortHeatMassExchanger Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialDynamicStaticFourPortHeatMassExchanger Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.TwoPortHeatMassExchanger Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialDynamicStaticTwoPortHeatMassExchanger Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.ConservationEquation |
The implementation has been changed to better handle mass flow rates near zero flow if the components have exactly two fluid ports connected. |
Buildings.Fluid.Sensors | |
Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.TemperatureTwoPortDynamic | This model has been deleted since the sensor Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.TemperatureTwoPort has been revised and can now also be used as a dynamic model of a sensor. |
Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces | |

Buildings.Utilities.Math | |
Buildings.Utilities.Math.BaseClasses.OneNonLinearEquation | This package has been removed, and all functions have been revised to use Modelica.Media.Common.OneNonLinearEquation. |
Buildings.Utilities.Reports | |
Buildings.Utilities.Reports.Printer Buildings.Utilities.Reports.printRealArray |
Changed parameter precision to significantDigits and
minimumWidth to minimumLength
to use the same terminology as the Modelica Standard Library. |
The following critical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that can lead to wrong simulation results):
Buildings.BoundaryConditions | |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SkyTemperature.BlackBody | Fixed error in if-then statement that led to
a selection of the wrong branch to compute the sky temperature. |
Buildings.Media | |
Buildings.Media.PartialSimpleMedium Buildings.Media.GasesConstantDensity.SimpleAir |
Fixed error in assignment of singleState parameter.
This change can lead to different initial conditions if the density of
water is modeled as a function of pressure, or if the
medium model Buildings.Media.GasesConstantDensity.SimpleAir is used. |
Buildings.Media.GasesConstantDensity Buildings.Media.GasesConstantDensity.MoistAir Buildings.Media.GasesConstantDensity.MoistAirUnsaturated Buildings.Media.GasesConstantDensity.SimpleAir |
Fixed error in the function density which returned a non-constant density,
and added a call to ModelicaError(...) in setState_dTX since this
function cannot assign the medium pressure based on the density (as density is a constant
in this model).
|
Buildings.Media.Interfaces.PartialSimpleIdealGasMedium | Updated package with a new copy from the Modelica Standard Library, since the Modelica Standard Library fixed a bug in computing the internal energy of the medium. This bug led to very fast temperature transients at the start of the simulation. |
Buildings.Media.Interfaces.PartialSimpleMedium | Fixed bug in function density, which always returned d_const ,
regardless of the value of constantDensity .
|
Buildings.Media.GasesPTDecoupled | Fixed bug in u=h-R*T , which is only valid for ideal gases.
For this medium, the function is u=h-pStd/dStp .
|
Buildings.Media.GasesConstantDensity | Fixed bug in u=h-R*T , which is only valid for ideal gases.
For this medium, the function is u=h-p/dStp .
|
Buildings.Rooms | |
Buildings.Rooms.MixedAir Buildings.Rooms.BaseClasses.ExteriorBoundaryConditions |
Fixed bug (issue 35) that leads to the wrong solar heat gain for roofs and for floors. Prior to this bug fix, the outside facing surface of a ceiling received solar irradiation as if it were a floor and vice versa. |
Buildings.Rooms.MixedAir Buildings.Rooms.BaseClasses.ExteriorBoundaryConditionsWithWindow |
Fixed bug (issue 36) that leads to too high a surface temperature of the window frame when it receives solar radiation. The previous version did not compute the infrared radiation exchange between the window frame and the sky. |
The following uncritical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that do not lead to wrong simulation results, but, e.g., units are wrong or errors in documentation):
Buildings.BoundaryConditions | |
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.BaseClasses.ConvertRadiation | Corrected wrong unit label. |
The following issues have been fixed:
Buildings.BoundaryConditions | |
#8 | Add switches for new data. |
#19 | Shift the time for the radiation data 30 min forth and output the local civil time in the data reader. |
#41 | Using when-then sentences to reduce CPU time. |
#43 | Add a ConvertRadiation to convert the unit of radiation from TMY3. |
Buildings.Fluid | |
#28 | Move scripts to Buildings\Resources\Scripts\Dymola. |
Buildings.HeatTransfer | |
#18 | Add a smooth interpolation function to avoid the event. |
Buildings.Media | |
#30 | Removed non-required structurally incomplete annotation. |
Buildings.Rooms | |
#35 | Wrong surface tilt for radiation at exterior surfaces of floors and ceilings. |
#36 | High window frame temperatures. |

Version 0.12.0
Note: The packages whose name ends with Beta
are still being validated.
The following critical error has been fixed (i.e. error that can lead to wrong simulation results):
Buildings.Rooms | |
Buildings.Rooms.BaseClasses.InfraredRadiationExchange | The model Buildings.Rooms.BaseClasses.InfraredRadiationExchange
had an error in the view factor approximation.
The error caused too much radiosity to flow from large to small surfaces because the law of reciprocity
for view factors was not satisfied. This led to low surface temperatures if a surface had a large area
compared to other surfaces.
The bug has been fixed by rewriting the view factor calculation.

port_b
was multiplied with the mass flow rate at
port_a
. The old implementation led to small errors that were proportional
to the amount of moisture change. For example, if the moisture added by the component
was 0.005 kg/kg
, then the error was 0.5%
.
Also, the results for forward flow and reverse flow differed by this amount.
With the new implementation, the energy and moisture balance is exact.

The former implementation triggered the assert if dp_in
was solved for
in a nonlinear equation since the solution can be slightly negative while still being
within the solver tolerance.

Version 0.9.1
The following critical error has been fixed (i.e. error that can lead to wrong simulation results):
Buildings.Fluid.Storage. | |
Buildings.Fluid.Storage.StratifiedEnhanced | The model Buildings.Fluid.Storage.BaseClasses.Stratifier
had a sign error that lead to a wrong energy balance.
The model that was affected by this error is
Buildings.Fluid.Storage.StratifiedEnhanced.
The model
Buildings.Fluid.Storage.Stratified was not affected.The bug has been fixed by using the newly introduced model Buildings.Fluid.Storage.BaseClasses.ThirdOrderStratifier. This model uses a third-order upwind scheme to reduce the numerical dissipation instead of the correction term that was used in Buildings.Fluid.Storage.BaseClasses.Stratifier .
The model Buildings.Fluid.Storage.BaseClasses.Stratifier has been removed since it
also led to significant overshoot in temperatures when the stratification was pronounced.

the flow is equal to zero if y=0

the package to avoid division by the rotational speed.
dp_nominal

then the pressure drop equation is removed. This allows, for example,
to model a heating and a cooling coil in series, and lump there pressure drops
into a single element, thereby reducing the dimension of the nonlinear system
of equations.
T
in closed form assuming no saturation. Then, a check is done to determine
whether the state is in the fog region. If the state is in the fog region,
then Internal.solve

can lead to significantly shorter computing

Version 0.1.0
First release of the library.
This version contains basic models for modeling building HVAC systems. It also contains new medium models in the package Buildings.Media. These medium models have simpler property functions than the ones from Modelica.Media. For example, there is medium model with constant heat capacity which is often sufficiently accurate for building HVAC simulation, in contrast to the more detailed models from Modelica.Media that are valid in a larger temperature range, at the expense of introducing non-linearities due to the medium properties.
