The overall performance assessment design should ideally involve an integrated approach using modelling and simulation as opposed to the currently used traditional engineering techniques.
Areas covered by building and energy simulation models are numerous and varied and include:
The best way to illustrate both several application areas and modelling approaches is by presenting case studies.
The following examples, taken out of context, provide insight into some assessment tasks which are representative of somebody's responce to specific design questions and are thus bespoke in nature. Further, they do not represent an exhaustive list of assessment task types or definitive modelling approaches.
A wide range of tools are now available to help architects and engineers in the design and performance assessment of the build environment. The principal tools employed in these case studies are ESP-r and RADIANCE.
