Data

The data set described below corresponds to a section of Pugh Hall (a building in the University of Florida campus, with 66 zones, with a total area of 41,000 sq. ft.). The data was collected from the building automation system and has been used for identification of inter-zone convection interactions. The section of building is shown in a dashed area in the figure below. You are welcome to use the data in your own research. Please cite the data source as the paper:

description of the variables

  • Temp_K_Global_XXX: Measured temperature (^circ F) of Room XXX starting from Jan 18th, 2011 5:00 pm sampled at 5 minutes interval, which is measured from the sensors installed in each room. (XXX = 200, 210, 230, 240, 242, 244, 245, 247, 248, 249, 299B). For example, Temp_K_Global_200 variable represents the measured temperature in room 200.

  • SA_Temp_K_Global_XXX: Measured temperature (^circ F) of supply air entering the Room XXX starting from Jan 18th, 2011 5:00 pm, sampled at 5 minutes interval, which is measured from the sensors installed in each room. (XXX = 200, 210, 230, 240, 242, 244, 245, 247, 248, 249, 299B). For example, SA_Temp_K_Global_200 variable represents the measured temperature in room 200.

  • SA_Flow_K_Global_XXX: Flow rate (cfm) of supply air entering the Room XXX starting from Jan 18th, 2011 5:00 pm, sampled at 5 minutes interval, which is measured from the sensors installed in each room. (XXX = 200, 210, 230, 240, 242, 244, 245, 247, 248, 249, 299B). For example, SA_Flow_K_Global_200 variable represents the flow rate of supply air entering the room 200.

  • Outside_Temp_k: Measured outside temperature (K) Jan 19th, 2011 12:00 am sampled at 5 minutes interval, which is measured from the installed sensors.

  • Temp_K_Global_XXX_index: Measured temperature (^circ F) of Room XXX starting Feb 10th-Feb 11th, 2011 12:00 am, sampled at 5 minutes interval, which is measured from the sensors installed in each room. (XXX = 200, 210, 230, 240, 242, 244, 245, 247, 248, 249, 299B). For example, Temp_K_Global_200_index variable represents the measured temperature in room 200.

  • SA_Temp_K_Global_XXX_index: Measured temperature (^circ F) of supply air entering the Room XXX from Feb 10th-Feb 11th, 2011 12:00 am, sampled at 5 minutes interval, which is measured from the sensors installed in each room. (XXX = 200, 210, 230, 240, 242, 244, 245, 247, 248, 249, 299B). For example, SA_Temp_K_Global_200 variable represents the measured temperature in room 200.

  • SA_Flow_K_Global_XXX_index: Flow rate (cfm) of supply air entering the Room XXX from Feb 10th-Feb 11th, 2011 12:00 am, sampled at 5 minutes interval, which is measured from the sensors installed in each room. (XXX = 200, 210, 230, 240, 242, 244, 245, 247, 248, 249, 299B). For example, SA_Flow_K_Global_200 variable represents the flow rate of supply air entering the room 200.

  • experiment{1}.State_precise(:,Y): Simulated Temperature (K) in the rooms starting from Feb 10th, 2011 12:00 am when only conduction model is used. (Y =1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 corresponds to room 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 247 and Hallway respectively). For example, experiment{1}.State_precise(:,2) represents the simulated temperature in room 240, when only conduction model is used.

  • experiment{2}.State_precise(:,Y): Simulated Temperature (K) in the rooms starting from Feb 10th, 2011 12:00 am when “convection + conduction” model is used. (Y =1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 corresponds to room 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 247 and Hallway respectively). For example, experiment{2}.State_precise(:,2) represents the simulated temperature in room 240, when “convection + conduction” model is used.

  • experiment{1}.Time_precise: Time (sec) starting from starting from Feb 10th, 2011 12:00 am corresponding to the variable experiment{1}.State_precise(:,Y)

  • experiment{2}.Time_precise: Time (sec) starting from starting from Feb 10th, 2011 12:00 am corresponding to the variable experiment{2}.State_precise(:,Y).
