Feature type: ThermalZone

Package:

Energy-ADE

Definition:

A thermal zone is a zone of a building which serves as unit for the building heating and cooling simulation. For the simulation, a thermal zone is considered as isothermal.

It is a semantic object, which may be or not related to a geometric entity.
