Validated Modelica Building Package for Energy Performance Simulation for Educational and Teaching Purposes

This paper introduces the work and application of the Modelica IBPSBuilding package which has been developed at TU Munchen. The aim of the package is to simulate building energy performance, especially the thermal behaviour of buildings. Its application is focused on research and education in order to help applicationoriented researchers and students to understand the physical processes of a building performance simulation and gain persuassive simulation results. The package describes all basic processes including conduction, convection, radiation and ventilation, and it is validated with German VDI-Guidelines.
