Testing a new heating or cooling control strategy in a real building can be slow and costly. Amanda Pertzborn describes IBASIM, a simulation tool designed to evaluate control approaches for the Intelligent Building Agents Laboratory before the most promising are implemented.
The report explains how a model of the laboratory’s air and hydronic systems is coupled to a virtual building. Chillers, pumps, fans, coils and other components are calibrated and validated against measurements. Diagrams, equations and comparisons show the structure of the tool and the evidence supporting its performance.
