Partial model of a single zone variable air volume flow system and thermal zone
Information
The thermal zone is based on the BESTEST Case 600 envelope, while the HVAC system is based on a conventional VAV system with air cooled chiller and economizer. See documentation for the specific models for more information.

BESTest Case 600 with fluid ports for air HVAC and internal load
Information
This is a single zone model based on the envelope of the BESTEST Case 600 building, though it has some modifications. Supply and return air ports are included for simulation with air-based HVAC systems. Heating and cooling setpoints and internal loads are time-varying according to an assumed occupancy schedule.
This zone model utilizes schedules and constructions from
the Schedules and Constructions packages.
