It considers various heat transfer phenomena of a room, including conduction, convection, short-wave and long-wave radiation. The first part of this paper describes the physical phenomena considered in the room model. The second part validates the room model by using a standard test suite provided by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The third part focuses on an application where the room model is used for simulation-based controls of a window shading device to reduce building energy consumption.</p>1 aNouidui, Thierry, Stephane1 aPhalak, Kaustubh1 aZuo, Wangda1 aWetter, Michael  uhttps://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/publications/validation-and-application-room-model
