This paper presents the BuildSysPro Modelica library developed by the department of Energy in Buildings and Territories (EnerBaT) of EDF R&D. After a description of the library’s structure and content; BESTEST validation results and a use case are presented.
This library is designed to be used in several contexts including building physics research; global performance evaluation; technology development and impact assessment. It is also a basis for urban and building stock simulation. BuildSysPro is intended for a relatively large audience ranging from R&D scientists to building services engineers.
BuildSysPro contains classes to describe the whole building and its energy systems including envelope components; HVAC systems and other energy conversion devices (DHW; thermal and photovoltaic panels…) and boundary conditions models. The models are designed for static and dynamic use; and for the representation of 0D/1D pure thermal and fluid dynamics. BuildSysPro in its current version contains around 380 models and 130 functions.
