Minutes

Minimum viable product

Dave added economizer control. Cooling and heating energy differs. Need to investigate how E+ controls economizer, probably due to mixed air temperature setpoint. Models are on SOEP repository.

Heat conduction implementation

No update.

Scalable benchmark model

Added internal heat gain to zones. Added different zone orientations. Added ideal HVAC system. Next, will add fan and VAV damper control.

FMI-QSS

Working on state event detection, no new update.

Documentation

Sketch out how to expose Buildings API for consumption by OS, e.g., what models should be exposed, what parameters are exposed (with what name). From there will be mapped to json or xml. Start with small model that has 3 to 4 components. OS code will be in C++. Should have side call with Kyle.

OpenStudio API

Java part ideally should be isolated with C++ wrapper.

Packaging

Developed self-contained executable that has JModelica and Java in it and compiles a Modelica model. Solver is not yet included. Demonstrated packaged self-contained executable that compiles .mo and calls FMI functions.
