The conversion of a Building Information Model (BIM) to a Building Energy Model (BEM) has typically been technically challenging. While BIM platforms like Revit provide architects...
High-performance building design requires a strong understanding of solar radiation, daylight penetration, and their impact on energy efficiency, HVAC loads, and occupant comfort....
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has long been a critical tool for optimizing airflow, heat transfer, and thermal comfort in buildings. Traditionally, implementing CFD analysis...
Have you ever stepped into a building that felt freezing in the summer or overheated in the winter, despite a seemingly sophisticated HVAC system? More often than not, this stems...
Geometry is one of the foundations of any building performance simulation. It defines how heat moves through a space, how sunlight enters a building, and how HVAC loads are...
Dynamic thermal simulation (DTS) offers a powerful solution for predicting how buildings will perform under various conditions, ensuring energy efficiency and occupant comfort....
This overview aims to explore the underpinnings, design considerations, and systematic methodologies pivotal to the effective implementation of zoning within HVAC...
Our IESVE software is now officially approved for National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings 2020 compliance. NECB 2020 (released in March 2022) outlines rules for...
High-performance buildings (HPBs) stand as a testament to the evolutionary strides made in architectural and engineering practices, transitioning from traditional construction...
The calculation of cooling loads in building and HVAC system design is a critical task that requires precision and understanding of thermal dynamics. This article presents a...
