Scheme for room (advanced level)

Schematic view (advanced level) of Energy zone model

This shows a schematic view (advanced level) of a zone with the Energy zone model (SimZone).

In this case this includes selection of climate model, an ideal heater, a cooling panel and external shading. After the advanced level model has been generated, the user is able to select between General (standard level) and Schematic (advanced level) tabs for zones as well as for the building. The various component groups are numbered in the figure as follows:

1. Supply and exhaust air terminals
2. Ceiling/Floor 
3. Air leak to ambient
4. Solar irradiation and external film coefficient, external wall
5. One external and three internal walls
6. Window and shading calculation components
7. Proportional controller for occupant automatic clothing adaption
8. PI controller for ideal heater
9. Cooling panel with controller and ceiling section behind
10. The actual zone model in which radiation, convection and loads etc. are modeled (in this case a energy zone model)
11. Post processing components for results capture.

See the IDA ICE encyclopedia and the Developers guide for more information about the mathematical model in IDA systems.
