Energy simulations in buildings and districts

 

Interest in zero energy buildings (ZEB) and energy-saving measures is on the rise. Quantitative evaluations on the introduction of various ZEB technologies and energy-saving systems in building planning and design stages make it possible to successfully incorporate effective methods. In the operations phase after a building has been completed, it is important that the technologies introduced are performing as planned and designed.

It will be essential to ensure efficient operations that have a minimum impact on the area by conducting preliminary studies on the construction of efficient energy supply systems during the planning stage, not only for individual buildings, but also at a broader district level.

NSRI employs a variety of environmental and energy simulation tools to examine measures and systems that can contribute to energy self-sufficiency at the building and district level. Specifically, we quantify energy-saving results, support the realization of ZEB, and verify the performance of energy supply systems.
