The second edition of Building Energy Simulation includes studies
of various components and systems of buildings and their effect on
energy consumption, with the help of DesignBuilderTM, a front-end
for the EnergyPlus simulation engine, supported by examples and
exercises. The book employs a "learning by doing" methodology. It
explains simulation-input parameters and how-to-do analysis of the
simulation output, in the process explaining building physics and
energy simulation. Divided into three sections, it covers the
fundamentals of energy simulation followed by advanced topics in
energy simulation and simulation for compliance with building codes
and detailed case studies for comprehensive building energy
simulation. Features: Focuses on learning building energy
simulation while being interactive through examples and exercises.
Explains the building physics and the science behind the energy
performance of buildings. Encourages an integrated design approach
by explaining the interactions between various building systems and
their effect on energy performance of building. Discusses a how-to
model for building energy code compliance including three projects
to practice whole building simulation. Provides hands-on training
of building energy simulation tools: DesignBuilder (TM) and
EnergyPlus. Includes practical projects problems, appendices and
CAD files in the e-resources section. Building Energy Simulation is
intended for students and researchers in building energy courses,
energy simulation professionals, and architects.

Performance of buildings depends upon building envelope, Heating
Ventilation and Air-conditioning system, lighting system, and
Domestic Hot Water services. This book gives idea to improve indoor
thermal environmental conditions by implementing Buildings Codes
such as Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) and ASHRAE 90.1
Standard. Building consumes about 40% of total energy and therefore
it is a need of time to improve their efficiency by employing codes
and others measures/techniques. Code compliance Building consume
less than 40% of energy compare to conventional practiced
buildings. Thermal adaptation itself offer additional savings of
about 16% in small buildings and it reduces as increase in building
footprint and internal load of the building.
