Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.AHUs.SingleZone.VAV.Economizers.Validation
Collection of validation models
Information
This package contains validation models for the classes in Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.AHUs.SingleZone.VAV.Economizers.
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.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.AHUs.SingleZone.VAV.Economizers.Validation.Controller_Disable
Validation model for disabling the single zone VAV AHU economizer modulation and damper position limit control loops
Information
This example validates
Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.AHUs.SingleZone.VAV.Economizers.Controller
for control signals which disable modulation control loop only (economizer block)
and both minimum outdoor airflow and modulation control loops (economizer1 block).

Information
This example validates
Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.AHUs.SingleZone.VAV.Economizers.Controller control loops:
minimum outdoor air damper position limits control loop (economizer block) and modulation
control loop (economizer1 block) for VOut_flow and TSup control signals.
Both control loops are enabled during the validation test.
