A new MATLAB simulink toolbox for dynamic building simulation with B.I.M. And hardware in the loop compatibility

Abstract

A new tool carnotUIBK was developed for dynamic building simulations within MATLAB. It consists of two parts: the first part is a MATLAB based object-oriented building model framework for handling data within building simulation matters, including import (of gbXML (B.I.M.), Excel and PHPP), export, data preparation and data analysis. The second is a simulation framework within Simulink, which provides the simulation engine. One of the main features of the new model is that it is tailored for hardware in the loop applications, controller development and indoor air quality simulations in terms of multi-zone modelling.
