Building tuning using simulation: a practical case study.

Author(s) : WEBB M.

Type of article: Article, Case study

Summary

In order to mitigate the worst effects of climate change, significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions will be required in the next 30 years in order to meet the goals of the Paris agreement to keep global temperature rise well below 2°C [II . Buildings account for approximately 19% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions 121. Therefore, the property sector has a responsibility to find strategies to reduce the carbon intensity of building operations. Low-energy design plays a large role in the reduction of operational carbon emissions. However, it is also important for buildings to operate as intended by design, and to investigate opportunities for further energy and water reductions far beyond practical completion. Building tuning is one strategy that can assist in reducing building energy consumption, and building tuning can be greatly assisted through building energy simulation.
