#  AixLib



**AixLib** is a Modelica model library for building performance simulations.  

The library contains models of HVAC systems as well as high and reduced order building models.  

It is being developed at [RWTH Aachen University, E.ON Energy Research Center, Institute for Energy Efficient Buildings and Indoor Climate (EBC)](https://www.ebc.eonerc.rwth-aachen.de/) in Aachen, Germany.



As the library is developed at RWTH Aachen University's EBC, the library's name **AixLib** is derived from the city's French name Aix-la-Chapelle, which the people of Aachen are very fond of and use a lot. With the name **AixLib** we follow this local tradition.
