Earth Sheltered Buildings & Energy Modeling

NC-2009 EAc1: Optimize Energy Performance
posted by Josie Plaut on Feb 27, 2013, 1:23 pm

We have a project that will be 60-70% earth sheltered and Appendix G doesn’t seem to provide guidance on how we might demonstrate the energy savings. Does anyone know if/what energy modeling...

posted by Sonia Martini on Jan 29, 2013, 2:28 am

Hi
The building I'm coping with includes some swimming pools.
In the proposed case I've modeled them so that they conform to the project. How should I model them in the baseline case...

Hi
What's the necessary documentation needed when submitting a simulation run with a self-made weather file (based on historical data)?
Thanks

Proposed Building Boiler Plant / Baseline Building System

NC-2009 EAc1: Optimize Energy Performance
posted by Blas Beristain on Jan 10, 2013, 1:09 pm

Hello,

In the proposed building simulation, some of the spaces are not yet defined and therefore are being simulated as office spaces with System 3 - PSZ-AC.
Because there is a...
