How to model the heatflow of a radiator?

[MaxBerktoldRWTH]

Helllo together,

Short question: I want to model a simple room with a radiator in it:

ex:room a brick:Room
ex:zone a brick:HVAC_Zone
ex:radiator: a brick:Radiator

ex:zone brick:hasPart ex:room
ex:room brick:isLocationOf ex:radiator

Until here i am quite certain, that i am right. But now i was asking myself if i can state:

ex:zone brick:isFedBy ex:radiator

Because the Radiator is feeding heat to the room. But heat is not "some media that flows from subject into object."

Also i wanted to ask when brick 1.4 is released and where i can download the nightly version.

Greetings!

Hi @MaxBerktoldRWTH we don't have a perfect relationship to use here because Brick does not model heat flow; however, if you want to model the "serving" of some room by some equipment, then the feeds relationship you've chosen above is appropriate.

Brick 1.4 should hopefully be released next week or so. We're waiting on some last minute details from the RealEstateCore folks. You can see the last changes here and the nightly build can be found here
