Validation model for three zones that are in two buildings

Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Validation.MultipleBuildings.ThreeZonesTwoBuildings

Information

Simple test case for two buildings, one having one and the other having two thermal zones. All thermal zones are free floating.

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).

Validation model with two identical buildings, each having one thermal zone

Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Validation.MultipleBuildings.TwoIdenticalOneZoneBuildings

Information

Model that validates that multiple buildings can be simulated that use the same EnergyPlus idf file. The model has two identical buildings, each having one thermal zone.

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).

Validation model with two identical buildings, each having two thermal zones

Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Validation.MultipleBuildings.TwoIdenticalTwoZoneBuildings

Information

Model that validates that multiple buildings can be simulated that use the same EnergyPlus idf file. The model has two identical buildings, each having two thermal zones.

This model has been added because a building with multiple thermal zones executes C code that is not executed if there is only one thermal zone, as is the case in Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Validation.MultipleBuildings.TwoIdenticalOneZoneBuildings.
