Test Case Name
multizone_office_simple_hydronic
Brief Description
The test case represents an office hydronic with two zones zones in Belgium. The building test case is modeled as a rectangular building of 40x25 m and 15 m of height. The height of each floor is considered to be 3 m, and at each floor internal floors are added to account for the thermal mass. Hence, the total floor area to be conditioned is 5000 m2. The building is divided in two zones/spaces of equal floor area, with their main façades oriented towards north (NZ) and south (SZ) respectively. Each zone has a window-to-wall ratio of 50%.
Each zone is equipped with independent air handling units (AHUs) for ventilation and circuits connected to fan-coil units (also known as ventiloconvectors) as the emission system. Heat/cold is procuded by means of a gas boiler and a chiller.
