Abstract
A novel dynamic simulation model, called DETECt 2.3.1, purposely developed for thermo-hygrometric energy performance analyses of multi-zone buildings, is presented. Relevant novelties vs. previous implemented code releases are discussed. They regard: i) the simulation model for building spaces with multi-enclosed thermal zones; ii) a novel temperature-humidity control algorithm based on a reference adaptive control scheme. Such algorithm enables the online adaptation of the control gains, in order to overcome the well-known problems of classical fixed gain control algorithms. With the aim to show the features and the potentialities of the simulation code coupled with this new control scheme, a suitable case study related to special indoor hospitals spaces including multiple infant-incubators is developed. The robustness of the designed control approach is confirmed through the good regulation performance obtained for both the indoor air temperature and humidity, simultaneouslyI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
