Modelica-library AixLib released!
As part of its IEA EBC Annex 60 participation, the Institute for Energy Efficient Buildings and Indoor Climate, E.ON Energy Research Center, RWTH Aachen University released "AixLib", a Modelica model-library with over 400 items that focuses on building performance simulations. Following the Annex 60 approach, it will be based on common base classes and extend the currently developed Annex 60-library. AixLib is being developed for research and teaching purposes and follows an open-source approach. In this way, it is ready-to-use and supports a native way of getting used to building performance simulation in Modelica. It aims at dynamic simulations of thermal and hydraulic systems to develop control strategies for HVAC systems and analyse interactions in complex systems. AixLib encompasses basic components, models for HVAC systems, models for building physics on different levels of detail and exemplary data sets for all models. It can be applied on component, building and city district level. It is freely available under Modelica License 2 and can be downloaded at https://github.com/RWTH-EBC/AixLib. We welcome you to take part in this development and to raise issues using github.
