Adding occupancy and lighting

Extends from DetailedHouse2.

Information

This example extends the second example by adding an occupancy and lighting model. Based on the selected options, the system automatically calculates the zone's internal heat gains, relative humidity, and CO2 concentration. The model implements a continuous occupancy schedule of one person and LED lighting for the zone. The lighting operates when occupants are present.

Required models

Similar to the IDEAS.Buildings.Components.Shading.Screen model used in IDEAS.Examples.Tutorial.DetailedHouse.DetailedHouse2, these model are utilized internally and can be set in the parameter windows. They should not be dragged and dropped.

Connection instructions

Set the appropriate replaceable models in the dialogue window of the zone model.

Reference result

The figure below shows the operative zone temperature without (blue) and with (red) occupant and lighting.
