🔥 Trano: Automated Building Energy Simulation (BES) Model Generation 🚀
📖 Full Documentation: 👉 Trano Docs
Trano is an innovative Python package that automates the creation of complex Building Energy Simulation (BES) Modelica models from simplified information contained in widely used data formats like YAML, JSON, or RDF. Unlike traditional tools that directly convert BIM to BES, Trano introduces an intermediate step, paving the way for seamless integration with IFC translators.
Trano is Modelica library agnostic but is natively designed to work with:
✅ Validated detailed Modelica libraries (e.g., Buildings, IDEAS,...)
✅ Reduced-order models (e.g., AIXLIB, ISO13790,...)
✅ your library...
Simulations run against Buildings 13.0.0, IDEAS 3.0.0 and AixLib 3.0.1 in the official OpenModelica image (see the installation docs).
✨ Key Features
🛠️ Built for Open-Source BES
- Designed with widespread adoption in mind.
- Optimized for OpenModelica, but also compatible with Dymola.
🔥 Full Thermal & Electrical Modeling
- Generates both thermal and electrical models.
- Supports building envelope, systems, and electricity.
- Models:
- Envelope (geometry & materials) 🏢
- HVAC systems (emission, hydronic distribution, boilers) ❄️🔥
- Electrical components (PV systems, electrical loads) ⚡
🎨 Easy to Use & Modify
- Generates graphical representations of components & connections 🎭.
- Fully modular design for seamless modifications:
- Envelope 🏠
- Emission 💨
- Hydronic Distribution 🚰
- Production & Electricity ⚡
🎛️ Control-oriented RC models for MPC
mpclibrary:trano create-model house.yaml mpcgenerates simple RC models (R1C1,R3C2,R4C3,ISO13790fromTrano.MPC) from the same building description, with the energy systems (heat pump, chiller, DHW tank, PV, battery, EV charger) inlined as CasADi-ready equations.building_mpcis CasADi/IPOPT ready (flat explicit ODE);buildingis directly runnable with the same weather file, solar gains, occupancy and external data as the other libraries (see the RC models for MPC tutorial).
🚀 With Trano, creating and modifying detailed BES models has never been easier!
