This video introduces the basics of HVAC system modeling in OpenStudio.
We explain what HVAC systems do—heating, cooling, and providing fresh ventilation air—and why they are essential for comfort and indoor air quality.
You’ll also learn why HVAC modeling is one of the most complex parts of building energy simulation and how understanding thermal zones and system behavior helps create accurate models.
A clear, simple foundation before moving into advanced HVAC configurations in OpenStudio.
