Description

To run the model, several incidence matrices have to be formulated. Then, the linear regression parameters can be calculated for a given supply, ambient and return temperature of the network. A pyomo model is then set up and solved with the solver of your choice.

Why should I use this?

Topotherm has the best scaling properties of multiple open-source models and has been benchmarked and validated.
