Full Description
The presented paper proposes a whole-building energy simulation software application that has been continuously developed and upgraded in Japan. This tool can perform simultaneous coupled simulations that consider the interactions between the building envelope, building structure, internal heat generation, HVAC systems, electrical systems, and plumbing systems. The present paper describes the concept and features of the latest version of the tool. In particular, simulation methods and simulation results that reveal the capabilities of the tool are presented.
