To create the state-space models from the EnergyPlus description files, OpenBuild follows a modeling procedure inspired by the one used in EnergyPlus, where most important thermal phenomena inside the building are modeled and the resulting model linearized around typical conditions when needed. A detailed description of this procedure is available here.
