Toy model house#

This tutorial presents the theory of heat transfer in buildings and exemplifies it on a toy model. The model is a thermal circuit with thermal capacities in some of the nodes.

Objectives:

  1. Modelling: obtain thermal circuits and state-space representation.

  2. Model verification: steady-state and step-response.

  3. Inputs: temperature and heat-flow source depending on weather and schedules.

  4. Simulation: time integration using Euler explicit and implicit methods.
