Integrated performance simulation of buildings and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems can help in reducing energy consumption and increasing occupant comfort. As part one of the two seminars in integrated building simulation, this seminar first discusses why, when and how we can use integrated multi-domain simulation for innovative building design and operation. The concepts and principles are then demonstrated by using two applications, including integrated simulation of energy and airflow for natural ventilation, as well as coupled simulation of building physics and energy system.
