Book excerpt: Many building energy analysis tools, ranging from the simplest to the most sophisticated, are applicable to the design of large commercial buildings. This paper focuses on two of the sophisticated, detailed, and most powerful of these tools: the DOE-2 and BLAST computer programs. DOE-2 and BLAST are generally classed as high-level, computer-dynamic methods that are based on hour-by-hour computation. These tools are placed in the context of building energy analysis, and the motivation for their development is traced. The characteristics of DOE-2 and BLAST are discussed, with emphasis on their solar simulation features, and their capabilities are contrasted and related. Three case studies, illustrating typical applications of the programs to the retrofit of existing buildings and the design of new buildings, are presented: a passive solar retrofit of an office building, the use of DOE-2 as a predesign analysis tool, and the use of BLAST in a research and development application. Future directions in research and development needs for high-level building energy analysis tools and the progress being made toward increased use of these tools are discussed.
Book Synopsis Fundamentals of Building Energy Dynamics by : Bruce D. Hunn
Download or read book Fundamentals of Building Energy Dynamics written by Bruce D. Hunn and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Building Energy Dynamics assesses how and why buildings use energy, and how energy use and peak demand can be reduced. It provides a basis for integrating energy efficiency and solar approaches in ways that will allow building owners and designers to balance the need to minimize initial costs, operating costs, and life-cycle costs with need to maintain reliable building operations and enhance environmental quality both inside and outside the building. Chapters trace the development of building energy systems and analyze the demand side of solar applications as a means for determining what portion of a building's energy requirements can potentially be met by solar energy. Following the introduction, the book provides an overview of energy usepatterns in the aggregate U.S. building population. Chapter 3 surveys work onthe energy flows in an individual building and shows how these flows interact to influence overall energy use. Chapter 4 presents the analytical methods, techniques, and tools developed to calculate and analyze energy use in buildings, while chapter 5 provides an extensive survey of the energy conservation and management strategies developed in the post-energy crisis period. The approach taken is a commonsensical one, starting with the proposition that the purpose of buildings is to house human activities, and that conservation measures that negatively affect such activities are based on false economies. The goal is to determine rational strategies for the design of new buildings, and the retrofit of existing buildings to bring them up to modern standards of energy use. The energy flows examined are both large scale (heating systems) and small scale (choices among appliances). Solar Heat Technologies: Fundamentals and Applications, Volume 4

Book Synopsis Data Mining and Machine Learning in Building Energy Analysis by : Frédéric Magoules
Download or read book Data Mining and Machine Learning in Building Energy Analysis written by Frédéric Magoules and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-02-08 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The energy consumption of a building has, in recent years, become a determining factor during its design and construction. With carbon footprints being a growing issue, it is important that buildings be optimized for energy conservation and CO2 reduction. This book therefore presents AI models and optimization techniques related to this application. The authors start with a review of recent models for the prediction of building energy consumption: engineering methods, statistical methods, artificial intelligence methods, ANNs and SVMs in particular. The book then focuses on SVMs, by first applying them to building energy consumption, then presenting the principles and various extensions, and SVR. The authors then move on to RDP, which they use to determine building energy faults through simulation experiments before presenting SVR model reduction methods and the benefits of parallel computing. The book then closes by presenting some of the current research and advancements in the field.

Book Synopsis Instructional Modules Demonstrating Building Energy Analysis Using a Building Information Model by : Christian D. Douglass
Download or read book Instructional Modules Demonstrating Building Energy Analysis Using a Building Information Model written by Christian D. Douglass and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design and analysis of buildings require a high level of collaboration and coordination among the disciplines of architecture, engineering, and construction. Efficiencies can be gained through the sharing of data across disciplines; however, this prospect has not been fully realized. Traditionally, building energy models have been created separately from architectural building information models (BIMs), and energy analyses have relied on a single analysis tool. By leveraging existing data from the BIM, energy models can be generated more quickly and the use of multiple analysis tools is more practical. A set of three instructional modules is used to demonstrate BIM-based methods of building energy analysis and simulation. The workflow leverages existing data in the architectural model for energy analysis, as opposed to creating separate models within each analysis program. Autodesk Revit Architecture is used to create a building information model based on a residential dwelling designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Relevant data from the building information model is exported to two separate analysis tools - Autodesk Ecotect and DesignBuilder. Ecotect is used to provide early feedback on weather, heating and cooling loads, and heat loss information, and DesignBuilder is used to evaluate the effect of adding various energy conservation measures (ECMs). The two programs are used in conjunction to analyze the effects of solar orientation and passive solar design elements. The BIM data is able to successfully generate the two external energy analysis models. Some issues are encountered in the process of importing BIM data into the analysis tools; however, all issues are able to be resolved. The features of the BIM workflow found to add the most value are the ability to export building geometry and thermal zone information and the ability to use material take-offs for comparing the cost of design alternatives. Simulation results from Ecotect and DesignBuilder show a 15% difference in annual heating and cooling energy between the best case and worst case passive solar design strategies. Results from the DesignBuilder ECM study indicate that a total energy savings of 21% can be achieved cost-effectively compared to a baseline design, for a 10-year time horizon.

Book Synopsis EnergyPlus Analysis Capabilities for Use in California Building Energy Efficiency Standards Development and Compliance Calculations by :
Download or read book EnergyPlus Analysis Capabilities for Use in California Building Energy Efficiency Standards Development and Compliance Calculations written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California has been using DOE-2 as the main building energy analysis tool in the development of building energy efficiency standards (Title 24) and the code compliance calculations. However, DOE-2.1E is a mature program that is no longer supported by LBNL on contract to the USDOE, or by any other public or private entity. With no more significant updates in the modeling capabilities of DOE-2.1E during recent years, DOE-2.1E lacks the ability to model, with the necessary accuracy, a number of building technologies that have the potential to reduce significantly the energy consumption of buildings in California. DOE-2's legacy software code makes it difficult and time consuming to add new or enhance existing modeling features in DOE-2. Therefore the USDOE proposed to develop a new tool, EnergyPlus, which is intended to replace DOE-2 as the next generation building simulation tool. EnergyPlus inherited most of the useful features from DOE-2 and BLAST, and more significantly added new modeling capabilities far beyond DOE-2, BLAST, and other simulations tools currently available. With California's net zero energy goals for new residential buildings in 2020 and for new commercial buildings in 2030, California needs to evaluate and promote currently available best practice and emerging technologies to significantly reduce energy use of buildings for space cooling and heating, ventilating, refrigerating, lighting, and water heating. The California Energy Commission (CEC) needs to adopt a new building energy simulation program for developing and maintaining future versions of Title 24. Therefore, EnergyPlus became a good candidate to CEC for its use in developing and complying with future Title 24 upgrades. In 2004, the Pacific Gas and Electric Company contracted with ArchitecturalEnergy Corporation (AEC), Taylor Engineering, and GARD Analytics to evaluate EnergyPlus in its ability to model those energy efficiency measures specified in both the residential and nonresidential Alternative Calculation Method (ACM) of the Title-24 Standards. The AEC team identified gaps between EnergyPlus modeling capabilities and the requirements of Title 24 and ACMs. AEC's evaluation was based on the 2005 version of Title 24 and ACMs and the version 1.2.1 of EnergyPlus released on October 1, 2004. AEC's evaluation is useful for understanding the functionality and technical merits of EnergyPlus for implementing the performance-based compliance methods described in the ACMs. However, it did not study the performance of EnergyPlus in actually making building energy simulations for both the standard and proposed building designs, as is required for any software program to be certified by the CEC for use in doing Title-24 compliance calculations. In 2005, CEC funded LBNL to evaluate the use of EnergyPlus for compliance calculations by comparing the ACM accuracy test runs between DOE-2.1E and EnergyPlus. LBNL team identified key technical issues that must be addressed before EnergyPlus can be considered by the CEC for use in developing future Nonresidential Title-24 Standards or as an ACM tool. With Title 24 being updated to the 2008 version (which adds new requirements to the standards and ACMs), and EnergyPlus having been through several update cycles from version 1.2.1 to 2.1, it becomes crucial to review and update the previously identified gaps of EnergyPlus for use in Title 24, and more importantly to close the gaps which would help pave the way for EnergyPlus to be adopted as a Title 24 compliance ACM. With this as the key driving force, CEC funded LBNL in 2008 through this PIER (Public Interest Energy Research) project with the overall technical goal to expand development of EnergyPlus to provide for its use in Title-24 standard compliance and by CEC staff.
