Abstract

As part of its contribution to IEA Annex 60; the Institute for Energy Efficient Buildings and Indoor Climate of RWTH Aachen University will make its Modelica HouseModels library available. The scope of this paper is to provide information about the library. The first part presents the library and its functionality. In the second part a room model is evaluated by using Case 600 from the test suite provided by the American Society of Heating; Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) in the standard 140.

Keywords
