Data Documentation for: "The integration of heat pumps into the thermal systems of hospital facilities to advance their transformation towards zero-emission buildings"

General information:

This dataset contains the EnergyPlus model used in the referenced study, provided in IDF format. The outputs of the EnergyPlus model are included in both hourly and monthly formats as CSV files, generated using weather data for Oviedo ('ESP_Oviedo.080150_SWEC.epw') from the EnergyPlus weather database. The detailed hourly energy demand of the building is also provided in CSV format. The energy consumption associated with different technical system configurations proposed in the study (SYS0, HPI1, HPI2, HPI3) is included in separate CSV files.

Software:

EnergyPlus 22.2.0: Used to generate 'Hospital28336m2.idf'

ReadVars.exe: Utility to extract EnergyPlus output data (.eso) to comma-separated value files (.csv). Configuration files EPtoCSVhourly.rvi and EPtoCSVmonthly.rvi define the exported variables and are used to generate EP_output_hourly.csv and EP_output_monthly.csv.

Matlab 2022b: Used to compute the demand profile (Demand.csv) and the system consumption profiles (ConsumptionSYS0.csv, ConsumptionHPI1.csv, ConsumptionHPI2.csv, ConsumptionHPI3.csv).


Variable Description:
The files EPtoCSVhourly.rvi and EPtoCSVmonthly.rvi list the variables included in EP_output_hourly.csv and EP_output_monthly.csv, respectively. The files Demand.csv and all Consumption*.csv files contain variable names and descriptions in the first row.



Folder Structure:
Building Model: Contains the EnergyPlus input file (Hospital28336m2.idf), the variable extraction configuration files (EPtoCSVhourly.rvi, EPtoCSVmonthly.rvi), and the model output files (EP_output_hourly.csv, EP_output_monthly.csv).
Demand: Contains Demand.csv.
Consumption: Contains system consumption files: ConsumptionSYS0.csv, ConsumptionHPI1.csv, ConsumptionHPI2.csv, ConsumptionHPI3.csv.
