You can use Simscape to simulate a commercial HVAC system and assess the affect of variable speed drive on the performance. Check out these examples on relevant pieces of the system:

Refrigerant cycle performance and efficiency

Two-Phase Fluid Refrigeration - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com)

Moist Air Thermodynamics:

Vehicle HVAC System - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com)

Motor performance and efficiency:

Brushless DC Motor - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com)

We offer a variety of comprehensive trainings on how to use Simscape, which you can find here:

MATLAB and Simulink Training - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com)

You will also see MATLAB and Simulink appear in the list as they are pre-requisites for the Simscape courses.
