    Hello,

    I am now learning how to use the house class in the residential module. I want to learn more about the equivalent thermal parameter model(ETP) which is implemented in GridlabD. Could someone tell me the reference book or any paper used here to implement this ETP model in GridlabD?

    thank you

    According to the references on the Residential Model Guide, the source material included the follow.

    Keep rocking Mr CCR.

    Hi, Gridlab-D team,

    Would you please give links to the above technical materials? I tried many ways such as google scholars and failed to find them. Thanks.

    Unfortunately, they are probably not available online - many papers over 20 years old are not. I would suggest going through a library (which my have access to scanned copies or the actual journals) or contacting the organization/authors for a copy.

    That said, ETP models are pretty commonly used (at least in some variation) and are in many textbooks for building systems and/or mechanical engineering. Also known as equivalent thermal circuit or other variations.

    Oh, you can also look at the Wiki documentation, which describes the particular ETP model that's used in the residential model:
