2.1 Building energy simulation s<strong>of</strong>tware 43<br />
In EnergyPlus, <strong>the</strong> scheme <strong>of</strong> calculations, shown in Fig. 2.3, is based on a series <strong>of</strong><br />
elements connected by air or water loops. Each fluid circuit has supply <strong>and</strong> dem<strong>and</strong> sides.<br />
The Gauss-Seidell scheme is used to integrate, control <strong>and</strong> solve mass <strong>and</strong> energy balance<br />
equations for all loops.<br />
Fig. 2.3: Simultaneous solution scheme used in EnergyPlus<br />
A concept <strong>of</strong> heat <strong>and</strong> mass transfer modelling in EnergyPlus is based on <strong>the</strong> following<br />
balancing equation for each analyzed zone.<br />
