Energy system simulation in performance-based building design
conference paper
This paper discusses the requirements and possible solutions for the use of building
simulation tools as instrument to support performance-based building design
decisions. Use of an existing simulation tool to support a specific building design
decision (the selection of energy saving building components) will be demonstrated,
difficulties encountered in this use of the tool will be reviewed, and solutions
suggested. As a primer for this demonstration performance-based decision-making
and its application to the selection of energy saving building components will be
discussed. Finally, a research project that implements some of these findings in an
operational system will be briefly introduced.
