Offices¶
Offices building is located in Greece. It is situated at an altitude of 4 meters over sea level, and has a total surface area of 643.73m2 and a total air volume of 2504.54m3. It includes the following 25 conditioned rooms:
3 Storage Rooms.
4 Seminar Rooms.
2 Central Rooms (Lobbies).
3 Corridors.
1 Staircase
4 WC (Bathrooms).
1 Kitchen.
5 Office Spaces.
1 Meeting Room.
1 HVAC air handling equipment room.
Thermal systems¶
The systems installed consist of a series of water to air fan coil units, deployed in different conditioned spaces of the building. This test site does not include an Air Handling Unit (AHU) of any kind, or any other forced ventilation/air climatization system. The installed fan coil units are supplied by a two-pipe water distribution system connected to a valve setup that can either send hot water from an oil boiler for heating demands, or deliver chilled water from an electrical air to water chiller, but not both.
Electrical systems¶
The site incorporates a 10 kW photovoltaic installation.
Controllable components¶
Fan coil control¶
The room temperature setpoints can be controlled. A low-level hysteresis control loop is implemented to ensure that the room temperature stays close to the setpoints. Notice that not all thermal zones are controllable (corridors, WC, Stairs, HVAC Room, Storage rooms and Kitchen have no thermostat control)
Chiller/Boiler control¶
The user can decide whether to heat up or cool down the building, by putting the boiler on/off and the chiller on/off. It is forbiden to use both heating and cooling at the same time.

Evaluation scenario¶
The evaluation scenario for the OfficesThermostat-v0 model consists of a full year control with the objective of minimizing the power demand, while keeping the zone temperatures between 19 and 24°C. For this goal, the tracked KPIs are the average power demand on the facility level, and the average temperature deviation and total temperature violations with respect to the interval [19, 24].
