Heat Balance Method Application in Building Energy Performance Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Simulation-based building performance allows detailed assessment of energy consumption in buildings. This paper presents an energy simulation via HB method of an office building model and outlines the significance and influence of design, construction and HVAC system on the energy consumption. The research was conducted through HB dynamic simulation method which allows flexibility of the thermal model and variability of elements and HVAC system properties, resulting in an energy simulation to outline the major criteria in qualitative enhancement. The findings indicate the influence of each factor on the total energy consumption regarding to the comfort maintenance of users.
