Summary

In the present work an existing dwelling, situated in the Netherlands, has been modeled by means of a parallel object-oriented simulation tool called NEST-Buildings. The model is based on a pre-defined collection of elements (e.g., walls, rooms, openings, outdoors, occupants, ventilation tubes and boxes, solar radiation distributors, HVAC equipment, etc.) that are connected to each other composing a dynamic thermal system. New configurations can be easily handled by adding or removing elements. Moreover, the building elements can be modeled at distinct levels of accuracy ranging from lumped volumes mixed with one-dimensional to detailed CFD&HT models. This approach makes possible the assessment of general-type buildings (residential, services, old, modern, etc.) using the appropriate modeling level at each component. The work is focused on the global resolution algorithm currently implemented in this computer simulation tool.
