Building Simulation

Purpose: Represents the thermal and physical properties of the building, simulating how it responds to HVAC inputs and environmental conditions.

Key Classes and Components

FloorPlanBasedBuilding:
- Simulates the building’s structure based on a floor plan and zone mappings.
- Attributes:
  - cv_size_cm: Control volume size in centimeters.
  - floor_height_cm: Height of each floor.
  - initial_temp: Initial uniform interior temperature.
  - inside_air_properties: Thermal properties of the air inside the building.
  - inside_wall_properties: Thermal properties of the interior walls.
  - building_exterior_properties: Thermal properties of the exterior building.
  - floor_plan_filepath: Path to the floor plan file.
  - zone_map_filepath: Path to the zone mapping file.
  - convection_simulator: Simulates heat convection within the building.
  - reset_temp_values: Function to reset temperature values.
