Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Validation.OutputVariable.NoOutputVariable
Failing example caused by missing Output:Variable in the idf
Information
This validation case tests whether Spawn works for an idf file that has no output variables declared.
The model is identical to Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Examples.SingleFamilyHouse.Unconditioned except that it uses an idf file that has no output variables.
Extends from Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Examples.SingleFamilyHouse.Unconditioned (Example model with one unconditoned zone simulated in Modelica, and the other two unconditioned zones simulated in EnergyPlus).
Parameters
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volume | VRoo | 453.1 | Room volume [m3] |
| MassFlowRate | m_flow_nominal | VRoo*1.2*0.3/3600 | Nominal mass flow rate [kg/s] |
Modelica definition
Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Validation.OutputVariable.OneEnvironmentOutputVariable
Validation model that has only one output variable from the environment conditions reported to Modelica
Information
Simple test case for one building in which only an EnergyPlus output variable is read.
In this model, the site drybulb temperature is obtained from EnergyPlus. Note that this variable could be read directly from the Modelica weather data bus, which can be accessed from Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Building.
Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).
Modelica definition
Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Validation.OutputVariable.OneZoneOneOutputVariable
Validation model for one zone with one output variable
Information
Simple test case for one building with one thermal zone and one output variable.
The room air temperature is free floating.
Extends from Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Examples.SingleFamilyHouse.Unconditioned (Example model with one unconditoned zone simulated in Modelica, and the other two unconditioned zones simulated in EnergyPlus).
Parameters
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volume | VRoo | 453.1 | Room volume [m3] |
| MassFlowRate | m_flow_nominal | VRoo*1.2*0.3/3600 | Nominal mass flow rate [kg/s] |
Modelica definition
Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Validation.OutputVariable.OneZoneOneOutputVariableSummer
Validation model for one zone with one output variable for a summer period
Information
Test case identical to Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Validation.OutputVariable.OneZoneOneOutputVariable but simulating only a period in summer.
This example tests whether the start and end time can be set in Modelica independently from the EnergyPlus idf file.
Extends from Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Validation.OutputVariable.OneZoneOneOutputVariable (Validation model for one zone with one output variable).
Parameters
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volume | VRoo | 453.1 | Room volume [m3] |
| MassFlowRate | m_flow_nominal | VRoo*1.2*0.3/3600 | Nominal mass flow rate [kg/s] |
Modelica definition
Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Validation.OutputVariable.OneZoneOutputVariable
Validation model that has only one output variable from a zone reported to Modelica
Information
Simple test case for one building in which only an EnergyPlus output variable is read.
In this model, the zone mean air temperature is obtained from EnergyPlus.
Extends from Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Validation.OutputVariable.OneEnvironmentOutputVariable (Validation model that has only one output variable from the environment conditions reported to Modelica).
Modelica definition
Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Validation.OutputVariable.OneZoneTwoDifferentOutputVariables
Validation model for one zone with two different output variables
Information
Simple test case for one building with one thermal zone and two different output variables. This test case validates that the outputs are correct if requested from different EnergyPlus variables.
Extends from OneZoneOneOutputVariable (Validation model for one zone with one output variable).
Parameters
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volume | VRoo | 453.1 | Room volume [m3] |
| MassFlowRate | m_flow_nominal | VRoo*1.2*0.3/3600 | Nominal mass flow rate [kg/s] |
Modelica definition
Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Validation.OutputVariable.OneZoneTwoIdenticalOutputVariables
Validation model for one zone with two identical output variables
Information
Simple test case for one building with one thermal zone and two identical output variables. This test case validates that the outputs are correct even if requested twice from the same EnergyPlus variable.
Extends from OneZoneOneOutputVariable (Validation model for one zone with one output variable).
