To foster development of better models of building energy systems, ASHRAE has sponsored several recent projects to identify, catalog and standardize models of building components and subsystems. For example, 629-RP has produced a Secondary Systems Toolkit, and 665-RP will soon produce a Primary Systems Toolkit. These Toolkits are collections of HVAC component and subsystem models expressed as computer subroutines for selected target environments.
The Neural Model Format (NMF) has been proposed as a more appropriate means of expressing mathematical models such as represented in the ASHRAE Toolkits. With the Toolkit models re-expressed in NMF, appropriate translators can be used to automatically produce modules of common provenance for a diverse group of building simulators.
