EnEff-BIM

Aim

Designing, dimensioning and optimizing the operation of energy-efficient new constructions and existing buildings based on building information modeling (BIM)

Methodology

• Developing prototype sensors for detecting the local, directional equivalent temperature
• Using the indoor climate measuring system DressMAN as a modular sensor platform
• Developing interfaces with measurement instrumentation and co-simulation
• Creating comfort models for the overall assessment of thermal comfort in vehicles
• Creating an empirical model for local coefficients of convective heat transfer at the human body
• Selecting, testing and assessing close-to-the-body, energy-efficient air-conditioning measures

Result

• Use of topological information from BIM sources for automatically networked functional mock-up units (FMU)
• Automated initialization of co-simulation facilitates structural analyses of the building system by interchanging individual modules
• Identification of optimization potentials by extending parametric variant studies to structural variant studies
