Buildings.Experimental.DistrictHeatingCooling.Validation
Package with models for the validation of the bi-directional district heating and cooling system models
Information
This package contains models that validate the district heating and cooling models. The examples plot various outputs, which have been verified against analytical solutions or by inspecting their change due to parametric changes. These model outputs are stored as reference data to allow continuous validation whenever models in the library change.
