Modeling of Residential Buildings and Heating Systems
Abstract
The aim of the paper is to illustrate the possibilities offered by modelassisted
commissioning in residential buildings. Three examples are
considered: two small detached houses and a large multi-storey dwelling
building.
A static multi-zone building model is used in each case. A model of the
heating system is also used for the multi-storey building.
Both co-heating and tracer gas measurements are used in order to adjust the
parameters of each building model.
A complete monitoring of the central heating plant, with measurements of
water temperatures and flow rates is used to adjust the parameters of the boiler
model.
