AixLib is a Modelica model library for building performance simulations developed at RWTH Aachen University, E.ON Energy Research Center, Institute for Energy Efficient Buildings and Indoor Climate (EBC) in Aachen, Germany. It contains models of HVAC systems as well as high and reduced order building models. The name AixLib is derived from the city's French name Aix-la-Chapelle, following a local tradition. The library is continuously improved and offers citable papers for reference. Contributions to the development can be made via Issues section or Pull Requests, following the workflow described in the Wiki.

AixLib

AixLib is a Modelica model library for building performance simulations.
The library contains models of HVAC systems as well as high and reduced order building models.
It is being developed at RWTH Aachen University, E.ON Energy Research Center, Institute for Energy Efficient Buildings and Indoor Climate (EBC) in Aachen, Germany.

As the library is developed at RWTH Aachen University's EBC, the library's name AixLib is derived from the city's French name Aix-la-Chapelle, which the people of Aachen are very fond of and use a lot. With the name AixLib we follow this local tradition.
