Description

Simple model of a room with a constant air flow entering the zone. The temperature in the room is controlled by changing the temperature of the supply air. The model is a first order model. The gain and time constant is set directly by the user. To the output of the dynamic part of the system we add a static contribution, T0. T0 corresponds to the room temperature when the temperature of the air entering the room is 0°C. Nominal values for the gain and time constant are 0.2 resp. 15 minutes.
