Glazed space thermal simulation with IDA-ICE 4.61 software—Suitability analysis with case study

Experimental Analysis of Cool Traditional Solar Shading Systems for Residential Buildings

“…In particular, researchers have recently focused on the role of faç ade albedo on energy demand and thermal comfort by mean of dynamic simulations [21,22]. Additionally, Zinzi et al [23] studied the effect of cool coatings applied over window shading systems demonstrating how this solution could produce non-negligible benefits in summer, reducing the solar gain entering the window.…”

Energy saving potential of glazed space: Sensitivity analysis

“…The total number of calculation cases in the sensitivity analyses was 156. The sensitivity analyses covered a wider scope than any of the studies presented in Section 2. , and the temperature conditions were as measured in a previous study [25] but simulated without heat transmission by separating them from each other. The lower balcony of the two is equipped with glazing.…”

“…Surface resistances must also be calculated as temperature-dependent variables and more attention be paid to long-wave sky radiation calculations than in normal energy calculation [4]. The IDA-ICE 4.6.1 software used in this study incorporates the above features [25]. The software as many other whole building energy simulation tools is based on the building geometrical description, which provides the basis for a more detailed calculation of the distribution of solar radiation in and between rooms.…”

Detailed and simplified window model and opening effects on optimal window size and heating need

“…Crawley et al [19] compared 20 energy simulation softwares and the study indicated that IDA-ICE is suitable for analysis of glazed areas. Hilliaho et al [20] measured air temperatures in glazed and unglazed balconies and compared them with simulated ones, which were obtained by using IDA-ICE 4.6. The correlation was good and highest modelling accuracy was reached by using detailed window and zone climate models.…”
