Conventional building simulation program are not well suited to address integration challenges of very low energy buildings. It is difficult and time-consuming to model an innovative building system which does not exist in current tools. In addition, it is also hard to reuse the models developed in building design for the building operation. To meet the needs of fast prototyping and operation-oriented modeling, it is possible to use equation–based object-oriented modeling languages. Using the non-proprietary Modelica language as an example, this seminar presents the fundamental features of equation-based languages. It explains why this technology opens new applications for design, optimization and operation of buildings.
