Dynamic thermal modelling software is a vital resource to help accurately predict CO2 emissions, energy consumption, internal conditions and operating costs.
The software aids in predicting the way a building responds to ever changing external environmental factors as we head towards a net zero carbon society. RHB use the government accredited, fully CIBSE AM11 complaint software EDSL TAS. A complex 3D model of the building is constructed to enable a variety of dynamic thermal simulations to take place.
Some of the practises include:
Our assessors are all CIBSE certified Low Carbon Energy Assessors (LCEA) and have years of in-depth knowledge providing guidance on Energy Consumption and Overheating analysis.
A dynamic 3D thermal model can help predict the likelihood of overheating during summer months. Each space can be analysed carefully to predict internal resultant temperatures throughout the year.
Dynamic simulations demonstrate the designed buildings predicted Energy Use/CO2 emission rate. Results can be fed back into a range of sustainability and planning reports as well as provide evidence for BREEAM credit approval.
Thermal modelling assists in making critical decisions throughout a project to help create a highly energy efficient building with low operational running costs.
The importance of investigating internal temperatures has been accentuated following the release of Approved Document Part O in June 2022.
