From a Simple Tool for Energy Efficient Design in the Early Design Phase to Dynamic Simulations in a Later Design Stage KU Leuven
In the past decade, many tools have been developed to support design decisions related to energy efficient buildings. However, these energy simulation tools are complex and require too detailed input data to be appropriate for use in the sketch design stage. Architects and designers hence often take energy related design decisions based on their own experiences or intuition. This paper proposes a simple tool to estimate the energy consumption in ...
