Test Case Name
multizone_office_simple_hydronic
Brief Description
The test case represents an office HVAC system with two zones in Belgium. The building represented is a rectangular building of 40x25 m and 15 m of height, including five floors each 3 m high. Hence, the total floor area to be conditioned is 5000 m2. For modeling, the building is divided in two zones of equal floor area, with their main facades oriented towards north (NZ) and south (SZ) respectively, and with five internal floors included for thermal mass. Each zone has a window-to-wall ratio of 50%.
Each zone is equipped with independent air handling units (AHUs) for ventilation and fan-coil units (also known as ventiloconvectors) for space heating and cooling. Heating water is produced by an air-source heat pump and chilled water is produced by an air-cooled chiller.
