Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.Validation.BESTEST.Cases9xx.Case940
Case 900, but with heating schedule
Information
This model is used for the basic test case 940 of the BESTEST validation suite. Case940 is the same as Case900, but with the following modifications:
- From 2300 hours to 0700 hours, heat = on if zone temperature is below 10°C
- From 0700 hours to 2300 hours, heat = on if zone temperature is above 20°C
- All hours, cool = on if zone temperature below 27°C
- Otherwise, mechanical equipment is off.
Extends from Case900 (Case 600, but with high thermal mass).
