Validated Modelica Building Package for Energy Performance Simulation for Educational and Teaching Purposes

Abstract

This paper introduces the work and application of the Modelica IBPSBuilding package which has been devel- oped at TU München. The aim of the package is to sim- ulate building energy performance, especially the ther- mal behaviour of buildings. Its application is focused on research and education in order to help application- oriented researchers and students to understand the phys- ical processes of a building performance simulation and gain persuassive simulation results. The package de- scribes all basic processes including conduction, convec- tion, radiation and ventilation, and it is validated with German VDI-Guidelines.
