Naming convention "equipped" in ThermalZone
Created by: KremerMartin
What is the problem?
There is a difference in the designation of the multi-zone model and the ThermalZone. Using the ThermalZone the suffix "equipped" means, that infiltration (natural, by window and mechanical) is considered. Otherwise no infiltration is considered (not even natural infiltration). Using the multi-zone model the suffix "equipped" stands for the usage of an air handling unit for ventilation. The multi-zone model uses the ThermalZoneEquipped as default.
As I see it, the suffix "equipped" is misleading in the ThermalZone-model. In addition to that the non-equipped ThermalZone suggests that ventilation is considered, as it inherits two connectors for the ventilation temperature and the ventilation rate. But the input has no influence on the results.
How do we want to solve it? Describe the solution you'd like
Maybe we should consider renaming the ThermalZoneEquipped into a model name more sufficient.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I am open to any suggestions. ;)
