How to Use Modeling Analysis to Optimize Design Performance
Are you interested in understanding what computer modeling can do for your projects?
The goal of this discussion is to demystify building performance modeling for small office interiors to large planned developments. Computer-simulations give you a complete picture of your project surroundings and interactive effects of design elements on the performance of your space. Modeling information can help you analyze the impacts of your design decisions and determine how to most effectively meet the project goals.
And yes, energy modeling is a valuable tool used for code compliance and LEED points. Not to mention the fancy graphics that models produce to show your clientele your commitment to performance-based design.
This discussion will present various opportunities that can arise from building performance simulations with analysis at the early design, whole building, and building component levels. We will examine the following types of analysis:
- Climate
- Daylighting
- Massing and orientation
- Passive strategies
- Whole building energy use
- Fenestration design
- Façade development
- Zone level energy performance
- Baseline and design case models
- HVAC System selection and optimization
