I am trying to replicate this paper which models the HVAC system completely in Modelica and the building envelope and loads in EnergyPlus. I am unable to figure out how they get the zone temperatures of the EnergyPlus model to equal the zone temperatures of the Modelica model. "The EnergyPlus model calculates the building thermal load so that the zone temperatures can be equal to the ones received from the Modelica simulation at the previous data exchange."
How can you make EnergyPlus calculate building thermal loads from a specified temperature? Assuming through EMS. I understand how to setup the FMU, just not sure what to do with the zone temperature once it is passed from Modelica to EnergyPlus.
