System-based simulation of energy flow in buildings
Project leader: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Philipp Geyer, KU Leuven; Prof. Dr.-Ing. W. Lang, TU Munich
Motivation
- early planning phases
- decisive impact on overall building design
- high potential of improvement focusing on energy efficiency
- low information density
- few computer-aided methods for simulation and analysis of overall energy consumption
- existing simulation-based methods not applicable for early design phases (high requirements concerning preparation of input data and models)
- missing methods for reliable estimations concerning energy consumption for construction, maintenance and demolition of buildings (“grey energy”)
