Coupled Simulation of Building Structure and Building Services Installations with Modelica
Peter Matthes, Timo Haase, Alexander Hoh, Thomas Tschirner, Dirk Müller · 2006
The Hermann-Rietschel-Institute (HRI) uses the ability of Modelica to aggregate different physical domains inside one simulation model. This approach allows for the coupled simulation of thermal effects in building structures and building services installations applying only one software tool. We show the capabilities of such coupled simulations, taking a room that is equipped with capillary pipes inside the ceiling and being connected to a chiller as an example.
