Abstract

This paper outlines the ESP approach to the simulation of coupled heat and mass flows in integrated building and plant systems. It describes the equation-sets used to represent inter-zonal (building) and inter-component (plant) fluid flow, the method used for the simultaneous solution of these non-linear equations, and the solution coupling of the heat and mass conservation equation-sets. By means of a case study, the application in a real building perfonnance evaluation context is demonstrated.
