Leading architectural firms are now using in-house design
simulation to help make more sustainable design decisions. Taking
advantage of these new tools requires understanding of what can be
done with simulation, how to do it, and how to interpret the
results. This software-agnostic book, which is intended for you to
use as a professional architect, shows you how to reduce the energy
use of all buildings using simulation for shading, daylighting,
airflow, and energy modeling. Written by a practicing architect who
specializes in design simulation, the book includes 30 case studies
of net-zero buildings, as well as of projects with less lofty
goals, to demonstrate how energy simulation has helped designers
make early decisions. Within each case study, author Kjell Anderson
mentions the software used, how the simulation was set up, and how
the project team used the simulation to make design decisions.
Chapters and case studies are written so that you learn general
concepts without being tied to particular software. Each chapter
builds on the theory from previous chapters, includes a summary of
concept-level hand calculations (if applicable), and gives
comprehensive explanations with graphic examples. Additional topics
include simulation basics, comfort, climate analysis, a discussion
on how simulation is integrated into some firms, and an overview of
some popular design simulation software.
