[en] A simplified Building-HVAC system model is presented here. It includes simplified models of building zone and of HVAC equipment.
The simplified building zone model is based on a R and C network, whose parameters are adjusted trough a frequency characteristic analysis. The implementation of the classical phenomena taking place in building dynamics is discussed.
The simplified building model is compared with more detailed models, using the BESTEST procedure.
The application of the presented model to the audit of commercial buildings is also discussed.
