Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.Validation
Collection of validation models
Information
This package contains validation models for the classes in Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.
Note that most validation models contain simple input data which may not be realistic, but for which the correct output can be obtained through an analytic solution. The examples plot various outputs, which have been verified against these solutions. These model outputs are stored as reference data and used for continuous validation whenever models in the library change.

Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.Validation.ThreeRoomsContam
Model with three rooms for the validation of the multizone air exchange models
Information
This is a model of three rooms that exchange air among each based on density difference between the air in the rooms and the outside. The model implements the configuration shown below.
This model has been used for a comparative model validation between CONTAM and
the Buildings library.
See Wetter (2006) for details of the validation.
