A Framework for Multi-zone Building Thermal-Electrical Representation

This paper presents the current situation and describes some preliminary considerations on the design and implementation of a framework that converts and represents multi-zone buildings floor plan in an RC circuit thermal-electrical model. The framework consists in obtaining pieces of information from the home user intuitively transforming them, firstly, into graphs and then in an electronic circuit representation. This knowledge representation will make heating building's behavior simulations possible.
