Buildings.Examples.DualFanDualDuct.Controls.PreHeatCoil
Controller for preheat coil
Information
Controller for the preheat coil. If the air inlet temperature is below a minimum temperature, such as 10°C, the preheat coil is activated. It then switches the pump on, and regulates the valve to meet the set point temperature for the supply air.

Buildings.Examples.DualFanDualDuct.Controls.RoomMixingBox
Controller for room mixing box
Information
This controller outputs the control signal for the air damper for the hot deck and the cold deck. The control signal for the hot deck is the larger of the two signals needed to track the room heating temperature setpoint, and the minimum air flow rate.Extends from Modelica.Blocks.Icons.Block (Basic graphical layout of input/output block).
