Integration of Building and HVAC Simulation by Elementary Models
Computer simulation is widely used as an analytical tool to evaluate thermal and economical performance of buildings andto improve HVAC control strategies. Many simulation software in use to-day, however, possess internal structures and modelling approaches which restrict their future extension to meet the diversifying needs of the users. To prepare these software for the next generation, much research efforts have been spending on making them fully building and plant integrated, with detailed mathematical representation, and highly flexible in application. A common goal is to achieve an approach to component modelling which offers program inter-operability and helps to converge the disparate theories. A generalised and hierarchical modelling approach using primitive parts (PPs) is one possible solution for this goal. This paper discusses the common features in advanced building thermal simulation software. The PP approach is then introduced as applying to building and plant simulation at various levels. Practical examples are used to illustrate the advantages of the approach.
