2 Terminology

3 Building Simulation?

4 energy and mass flow? structural durability? aging? egress? construction site simulation?

5 our focus is on energy performance modeling, explained by physical transport processes

6 this area has its origin in early studies of energy and mass flow processes in the built environment

7 groundwork was done in 1960s and 1970s energy performance lighting HVAC air flow

8 The earliest attempts to adapt computer programs to building performance simulation (or calculation as an early term) date from late 1960s. -- Godfried Augenbroe

9 later on... combined moisture and heat transfer acoustics control systems urban and micro climate

10 later on... combined moisture and heat transfer acoustics control systems urban and micro climate

11 later on... combined moisture and heat transfer acoustics control systems urban and micro climate

12 Until the mid-1990s major software vendors began to show interest in the building simulation area DOE-2, ESP-r, TRNSYS

13 Since late 1990s domains other than energy are increasingly covered by specialized tools the launch of EnergyPlus (the merger of BLAST and DOE-2) made it quickly became the most popular whole building energy simulation program among researchers.

14 EnergyPlus models heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation,other energy flows, and water use. time-steps less than an hour, moduar systems and plant integrated with heat balance-based zone simulation, multizone air flow, thermal comfort, water use, natural ventilation, and photovoltaic systems.

16 Drury B.Crawley (DOE) et al contrasted the capabilities of building energy performance simulation programs BLAST, BSim, DeST, DOE-2.1E, ECOTECT, Ener-Win, Energy Express, Energy-10, EnergyPlus, equest, ESP-r, IDA ICE, IES, HAP, HEED, PowerDomus, SUNREL, Tas, TRACE and TRYSYS.

18 What the simulation brought about in design?

19 Architectural form used to appear as the ultimate result of a process of research. -- Antoine Picon

20 Silent, invisible electronic world of virtual design must ultimately end in physical reality -- Norman Foster

21 At the heart of the matter is the question: where do the aesthetic eye and an algorithm converge? How will a computer know when to stop and how does that related to what we like? -- Cecil Balmond

22 Design Project Start Time Project End

23 Analysis Design Project Start Time Project End

24 Tools Analysis Design Project Start Time Project End

25 Tools Analysis Design Project Start Time Project End

26 Tools Analysis Tool late or not efficient Design Project Start Time Project End

27 speeding up the design process increasing efficiency enabling the comparison of a broader range of design variants better understanding of the consequences of design decisions

28 It is an instrument, which is exceptionally suitable to answer whatif -type questions.-- Sten de Wit

29 What would happen if we would like to make this design alteration?

30 What would be the effect of this type of retrofit?

31 What would be the building respond to these extreme conditions?

32 Are the answers accurate?

33 Commonly the answers to these questions can only be estimated with some degree of uncertainty lack of knowledge about the properties of the building or building component Simplified simulation model given consideration of the complexity of the building

34 Help! What to do with this call for help!?
