BIM technologies for the design of active solar heating systems

Abstract

Building Energy Modeling (BEM) is a complex and diverse process that allows you to achieve better results even with typical design tasks. By using BEM software, it is possible to provide a non-trivial approach to the development of architectural planning and engineering solutions, often combined with each other, to ensure high quality and effective implementation of results. An excellent example of such a process is the use of BEM technology in conjunction with the design of solar heating systems placed on the facades of the building. This approach makes it possible to take into account and practise various subtleties and aspects that are often inaccessible in traditional (without the use of BEM and BIM technologies) design - accurate accounting of heat intake and losses through individual sections of structures, including heterogeneous ones; temperature distribution to individual elements of structures, directly to structures and buildings as a whole, and much more.

“…2) Active Design Strategies: Active design strategies are design strategies that rely on the use of active systems and technologies to achieve net zero energy consumption in buildings. These strategies concentrate on the production, allocation, and management of energy throughout the building [22]. Examples of active design strategies include geothermal heating and cooling systems, CTMA3 (Dexa Cetyltrimethylammonium Chloride) Technology efficient lighting systems, efficient HVAC systems, and building automation and control systems.…”
