BESO - Building Energy Simulation and Optimization

This program consists of the following main parts:
· Data input procedure
· The integration program
· Analysis
· Optimization

Data Input Procedure
· Building's details
· Outside air temperatures
· Solar energy data
· Energy cost
· Energy Conservation Measures cost

Energy Transfer Elements
· Outside walls
· Ceiling
· Floor
· Neighboring walls
· Conduction through windows
· Infiltration of outside air
· Solar radiation on outside walls
· Solar radiation through windows

For upper floor:
· Solar energy on roof

Outputs
  • Hourly/Monthly/Yearly energy consumption in each room
  • Each room temperatures 24 hours graphs (second after second) in each typical month
  • Building elements temperature and wall/ceiling condensation indication
  • Maximum and optimum heater power in each room
  • Optimum thermal insulation position and thickness

    Example of output - Optimum Heater Power:


    The optimum heater power is: 34-116 W/m2 of the floor or 64-69W/m2 of the outside wall

    Example of output - Room Air Temperature:


    Example of output for each room and each typical month:
  • Heater Power [W]
  • Energy Consumption [kWh/day]
  • Maximum Room Temperature [C]
