“…The most popular energy-efficient design software, PKPM, was selected to analyze the energy efficiency of the masonry materials for exterior walls. In the light of the relevant codes and engineering building parameters [8], three envelope models were set up based on the exterior walls made of the SPBs, the AAC blocks and the CAC blocks, respectively. The software modules were executed according to the following sequence: File management, Open project, Envelope energy, Material editing, Index calculation, Weighting and Export report.…”

In recent years, resource saving and energy conservation have attracted a growing attention across the globe, calling for technical and economic analysis of energy efficiency of exterior walls in buildings. Targeting an actual building project, this paper introduces the energyefficient design software PKPM and the cost analysis software GBQ to the technical and economic analysis of the energy efficiency of exterior walls respectively made of three masonry materials: sintered porous bricks (SPBs), autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks and ceramsite aerated concrete (CAC) blocks. The analysis shows that the exterior walls made of the CAC blocks achieved the energy conservation requirements with the simplest structure, easiest construction and lowest cost. The application of the CAC blocks in exterior walls can save resources and reduce building energy consumption, achieve excellent technical, economic and social benefits, and should be promoted in building projects.

“…Transient System Simulation (TRNSYS) is one of the most commonly used energy simulation tools for buildings and Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, including solar and geothermal systems. It has a modular structure too, and it works with open-source models, providing flexibility for adding new components developed in other tools [31]. Thermal Analysis Software (TAS) is an industry-leading BPS tool for thermal simulation of complex buildings.…”

Abstract:There is an urgent need for energy efficiency in buildings within the European framework, considering its environmental implications, and Europe's energy dependence. Furthermore, the need for enhancing and increasing productivity in the building industry turns new technologies and building energy performance simulation environments into extremely interesting solutions towards rigorous analysis and decision making in renovation within acceptable risk levels. The present work describes a multidisciplinary approach for the estimation of the energy performance of an educational building. The research involved data acquisition with advanced geomatic tools, the development of an optimized building information model, and energy assessment in Building Performance Simulation (BPS) software. Interoperability issues were observed in the different steps of the process. The inspection and diagnostic phases were conducted in a timely, accurate manner thanks to automated data acquisition and subsequent analysis using Building Information Modeling based tools (BIM-based tools). Energy simulation was performed using Design Builder, and the results obtained were compared with those yielded by the official software tool established by Spanish regulations for energy certification. The discrepancies between the results of both programs have proven that the official software program is conservative in this sense. This may cause the depreciation of the assessed buildings.

“…An overview of co-simulation approaches and tools, research challenges, and research opportunities are presented, e.g. in the references (Trcka 2008;Atam 2017;Mathias et al 2015;Gomes et al 2017). The proposed empirical survey aims to merge different views of heterogeneous communities which are working in the field of co-simulation, on the state of the art, research gaps and future challenges.…”
