Brief Description
The test case is a two-room with one bathroom apartment in Milan, Italy. The floor area is 44.5 m2 and the apartment is well-insulated with an external transmittance equal to 0.46 W/m2K. The external facing façade is South-East oriented with a total window area of 8 m2.
The heating system consists of two floor radiant heating circuits, one for each room. The heat is supplied by a 5 kW air source heat pump. The embedded control is such that each thermal zone has its own thermostat and is controlled independently. The pump works to provide a constant head, tuned to provide each floor heating circuit their respective design water mass flow rate when the circuit valve is open. The heat pump supply water temperature set point is calculated via a climatic curve that depends on the external temperature.
