[Bldg-sim] Simulation of a HDB building in Singapore

[Ery Djunaedy]

There are a number of projects involving HDB buildings in the past.
Profs Lee Siew Eang and Wong Nyuk Hien of NUS are the names to google
up. You will find many publications on that subject.

Why do you want to include HVAC for HDB buildings? They are supposed
to be naturally ventilated arent they? Most of the AC units found in
those buildings are just split units or even the window units, nothing
fancy there. You easily do this in whatever simulation program you use
(EPlus or EQuest or ESP-r or whatever).

I am not conducting any study on that subject at the moment, but you
can contact me if you need further help.
