HVACSIM+ building systems and equipment simulation program - user's guide
HVACSIM+ is a modular, non-proprietary computer simulation package developed at the National Bureau of Standards. The package consists of a general-purpose modular simulation program called MODSIM, a library of component models specific to building systems, and a simulation editor called HVACGEN. The latter is used to facilitate the creation and modification of simulation descriptions. HVACSIM+ is designed to allow detailed simulation of entire building systems or portions of such systems. This includes the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the equipment control system, the conditioned zones within a building, the building shell, and the dynamic interactions among these subsystems. This document describes the procedures for installing HVACSIM+ on a particular computer, for setting up a simulation description using HVACGEN, and for running a simulation using MODSIM.
