Release updates

Current release is version 3.3.0.

This release provides :

• update of the IBPSA library to its 3.0.0 version
• adding a new function U_wall to calculate the U-value from the wall composition and surface heat transfer coefficients
• new record h_surf_ISO6946 with a set of surface heat transfer coefficients from ISO6946
• new model based on PID for a flexible calculation of heating and/or cooling needs (PIDSingleOrDualMode)

BuildSysPro Version 3.2.0

• Update of the IBPSA library to its 2.0.0 version.
• Adding a new RT2012 scenario file to account for the switch between winter and summer time. Warning: in the RT2012 regulation, the environmental data are given in solar time whereas the data related to occupancy are in local time. To account for this time difference (switch between winter and summer time), the user should choose a specific scenario file (for example ScenarioRT2012_timechange.txt).
• Correction of the flux connection between the zones in the Matisse multizone apartment model, in order to be consistent with the distributed radiative heat fluxes on the walls by PintdistriRad. Warning: this modification is likely to have impacts on some simulation results.
• Other minor error corrections.

BuildSysPro 3.2.0 is compatible with OpenModelica 1.9.3.. When working with OpenModelica, specify your initial conditions carefully and use preferably Dassl, Euler or Runge-Kutta

solvers.

BuildSysPro Version 3.1.0

Correction of an error in the Meteofile : a one-hour delay was observed between sun height and solar irradiance data for RT2012 meteo. Warning : this error had an impact on simulation results, be careful if you ran simulations with RT2012 meteo.
Other minor error corrections
