================================== Brief Description

The CtxMod_BCVTB_EnergyPlus repository contains simulation files used in the application example for Context-based Thermodynamic Modeling of Building Spaces. These files contain the simulation of a single Thermal Zone using the Buildings Controls Virtual Test Bed (BCVTB) and EnergyPlus, including the Matlab simulation of the same building using a Context-based model.

In this repository we outline the following files:

Simple.idf: The EnergyPlus input building used in the simulation.
system.xml: The BCVTB system description.
Model.m: Simulation of the Context-based model.
