Introduction Measuring building performance

What is Building Performance

Did you ever heard about Sick building syndrome throat irritation breathing difficulties tightness in the chest runny nose allergy-like symptoms, such as sneezing burning sensations in the nose dry, itchy skin rashes headaches dizziness difficulty concentrating forgetfulness fatigue irritability nausea body aches fever chills Indoor Qualities

How we can Measuring Building Performance?

Early design decisions Component or material selection Retrofitting decisions Why we do Simulate Energy? evaluating various design strategies orientation and layout Building Mass not Detailed Design 1 2 3

What is needed for Simulate Energy? Location and weather file Building geometry Envelope components Building services Building usage A B C D E hourly ambient conditions (temperature, humidity, wind velocity, solar radiation, etc.) at the building location Occupancy Lighting Equipment Thermostat set point HVAC operation hourly values HVAC and lighting is require thickness and thermophysical properties of materials used in each layer of building envelope. Besides the opaque component Building elevation and floor plans are required to create the geometric model of a building
