“As first time users we felt very comfortable working with the IESVE. We tested it in parallel with other software that we were more familiar with, modelling first in Energy Plus, then in IES. Using IESVE for the first time, with just our notes and some assistance with specific queries from IES, we felt IESVE was easy to understand once experienced with other simulation engines. The models were slightly different, but the results similar enough to be happy they were accurate”
“To achieve a passive building requires a combination of smart strategies integrated from the early stages of the project. Although the internal temperatures demonstrated in this project were slightly higher than the 28ºC target set, the client was still extremely happy with the strategy we proposed. We are now working with them on another new building on the site and, through a combination of IESVE modelling and site verification, we expect to identify new passive strategies capable of achieving internal temperatures of no more than 26ºC.”
