teaser.logic.archetypebuildings.bmvbs.office module

class teaser.logic.archetypebuildings.bmvbs.office.Office(parent, name=None, year_of_construction=None, number_of_floors=None, height_of_floors=None, net_leased_area=None, with_ahu=False, internal_gains_mode=1, office_layout=None, window_layout=None, construction_type=None)

Bases: NonResidential

Archetype Office Building according to BMVBS

Subclass from NonResidential archetype class to represent office buildings.

The office module contains a multi zone building according to BMVBS (see [1]). This German office building contains 6 usage zones (zones with similar thermal behaviour). Each zone has 4 outer walls, 4 windows, a roof and a ground floor. Depending on zone usage (typical length and width), an interior wall area is assigned. Exterior wall surfaces are estimated based on [1]. Refinements of the archetype follow the approach of [4]. number_of_floors and height_of_floors are mandatory parameters. Additional information can be passed to the archetype (e.g. floor layout and window layout).

All default values are given according to [1] and [4] if not stated otherwise.

In detail the net leased area is divided into the following thermal zone areas:

1. Office (50% of net leased area)

2. Floor (25% of net leased area)

3. Storage (15% of net leased area)

4. Meeting (4% of net leased area)

5. Restroom (4% of net leased area)

6. ICT (2% of net leased area)

Parameters

parent: Project()

The parent class of this object, the Project the Building belongs to. Allows for better control of hierarchical structures. If not None it adds this Building instance to Project.buildings. (default: None)

mode for the internal gains calculation done in AixLib:

1. Temperature and activity degree dependent heat flux calculation for persons. The calculation is based on SIA 2024 (default)

2. Temperature and activity degree independent heat flux calculation for persons, the max. heatflowrate is prescribed by the parameter fixed_heat_flow_rate_persons.

3. Temperature and activity degree dependent calculation with consideration of moisture and co2. The moisture calculation is based on SIA 2024 (2015) and regards persons and non-persons, the co2 calculation is based on Engineering ToolBox (2004) and regards only persons.

Archetype Residential Building according

Subclass from Residential archetype class to represent SingleFamilyDwelling according to IWU [3].

The SingleFamilyDwelling module contains a single zone building. It has 4 outer walls, 4 windows, a flat roof and a ground floor. Interior wall areas are assigned related to typical width and depth of zones according to [13]. It makes number_of_floors and height_of_floors mandatory parameters. Additional information can be passed to the archetype (e.g. floor layout and number of neighbors).
