Challenge
The London Plan provides a broad set of guidelines covering the planning, construction and operation of London over the next 20-25 years. It has significant influence over the design of the built environment, specifically, the energy, environmental, sustainability, air quality and whole life cost approaches to optimising the design and operation of buildings. Comprehensive monitoring of energy demand and carbon emissions are required, carbon emissions must be reduced 30% more than the current building regs requirements, and dynamic overheating modelling should be undertaken in line with the CIBSE guidance.
Solution
IESVE software provides tools for:
Partnership with One Click LCA enables whole life cycle costing including life cycle analyses
Overheating has become a key issue for building design, and the need to reduce energy consumption whilst dealing with climate change has reduced the options available to build comfortable, low-energy buildings. Additionally, in the UK buildings are designed for cooler temperatures in the winter, but this can lead to overheating in the summer months. CIBSE TM52 informs designers, developers and others responsible for defining the indoor environment in buildings.
TM59 specifies how the overheating risk assessment is to be performed, especially as it pertains to input profiles for occupancy. Simulation must account for 24 hr occupancy, requires a detailed blind analysis model if incorporated in the strategy, recommends a noise and pollutant study to be undertaken and is in addition to the London Plan.
IESVE dynamic thermal modelling can be used to simulate the internal temperature conditions, allowing you to establish whether threshold conditions discomfort will be reached.
