Fast, accurate thermal simulation is becoming an essential part of successful building design. ApacheSim from IES <VE> puts at your fingertips the most advanced and comprehensive thermal simulation software on the market. It shows you how your building is performing, helps you identify and solve problems as they arise, and enables you to optimise your design. Quick and easy to use, ApacheSim draws on the data you already have, and produces the results you need at the touch of a button. You can compare different approaches and test out new ideas, so it's safe to innovate. Access the power and value of thermal simulation with ApacheSim.
What ApacheSim does:
ApacheSim enables you to assess every aspect of thermal performance, from annual energy consumption and carbon emissions down to individual surface temperatures.
ApacheSim is at the core of the IES <VE> suite of thermal analysis products, each of which simulates an aspect of thermal performance:
· solar shading and penetration (SunCast)
· HVAC systems and control (ApacheHVAC)
· natural ventilation and mixed mode systems (MacroFlo).
ApacheSim also enables you to perform carbon emissions calculations for compliance with Building Regs Part L and Part J.
Thermal Simulation
ApacheSim is easy and quick to use, employing intuitive interface techniques and using data in common with other thermal applications. The geometry is provided by the IES <VE> Integrated Data Model (IDM).
ApacheSim is based on first-principles models of heat transfer processes and is driven by real weather data.
Application Areas
· Thermal performance analysis
· Building fabric design
· Occupant comfort analysis
· Natural ventilation studies
· Façade analysis
· Energy consumption prediction
