RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] opaque envelopes performances comparison

[<josep.sole@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think it's a good approach.

Estimating the energy "demand" without any equipment it's possible to see the impact of each solution at building level without system's interferences.

 

Some building interventions are in relation between them and it's important don't forget this situation.

 

Example: in hot climates if you don't use effective solar protection and night cooling increase insulation is not favorable but if you use enough solar protection and night cooling increase insulation is favorable.

 

Make attention on conclusions !

Asunto: [EnergyPlus_Support] opaque envelopes performances comparison

 

Gents,

I am doing a research experiment related to study how opaque envelopes
design effects building performances.

Basically the experiment compares different walls:

- high thermal inertia - high insulation - opaque ventilated facades 

And different buildings having different ratio surface / volume

That is related to 6 different climates.

The result would be a table that shows which envelope has better performance
in different climates and building geometry.

To comparison parameter will be Kwh/m2 per year.

I'm wondering if to get this values I could use a Purchased Air for evaluate
the different building/envelope performances using the Purchased Air outputs
to evaluate these performances, rather then set up an HVAC for every
building. 

Thanks everybody for your attention, and please send me any kind of advises!
