Case Studies of Co-simulation for Building Performance Prediction
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper aims to illustrate the usability and benefits of recent developments in co-simulation of building systems by means of several case studies. Co-simulation enables the reuse of models developed in separate simulation tools as well as integration of generic solvers into the computational building performance simulation domain. This in turn facilitates rapid prototype modeling of new and emerging building systems, and thus early performance prediction of innovative systems and concepts, which would not be feasible otherwise.
