HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. This system provides heating and cooling to residential and commercial buildings. You can find HVAC systems anywhere from single-family homes to submarines where they provide the means for environmental comfort. Becoming more and more popular in new construction, these systems use fresh Read more…
What is a Chiller? This device <strong>removes heat from a load and transfers</strong> it to the environment using a refrigeration system. This heat transfer device is the preferable cooling machine in power plants and other large-scale facilities. It is simply a system consisting of ethylene + water or water reservoir Read more…
Many organizations in India have started taking safety precautions, some informing their employees to work from home. But, since there are a considerable number of organizations still operating, there is a dire need for all employees to understand the spread of Coronavirus and what precautions they can take. Buildings, communities Read more…
Thermal comfort is the basis of building homes from the beginning, mainly to protect oneself from the harsh climate conditions outside. Today, buildings are advanced enough to control the ventilation of a building. In order to maintain that, fresh air is required for any HVAC system. Fresh air is the Read more…
Building energy modeling has been around for almost 50 years now. One of the early applications of building energy modeling was for US Department of energy by the name DOE-2 and BLAST. The energy simulation software allow to determinate with accuracy some variables that can support designers to take decisions Read more…
There are now many resources available to support the design of more sustainable buildings and to assess the “green-ness” of these designs. As the field of sustainable design evolves, many in the field are thinking about measuring the actual benefits of these designs—the performance of buildings that we consider “green.” Read more…

The buildings sector accounts for about 76% of electricity use and 40% of all U. S. primary energy use and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, making it essential to reduce energy consumption in buildings in order to meet national energy and environmental challenges (Chapter 1) and to reduce costs to Read more…

As there is already a wide range of Building Performance Simulation tools available internationally, there is still a question of user interface when it comes to comparison. The users of those tools are mainly researchers, physicists, and experts who value empirical validation, analytical verification and calibration of uncertainty. EnergyPlus EnergyPlus Read more…
