“Completing this study was a challenge, from the architectural modelling to that of the HVAC systems, down to the post processing of the results. The project consisted of multiple atriums, concourses, lounges, etc. where each space has a specific thermal template and a specific occupancy rate – all within a …

“In order to find rational combination of envelope properties and HVAC options there is a need to have accurate simulation results and know possible variations. The energy performance certification tools are not meant to fit this need, so we use the IESVE to make more reliable predictions and optimize life …
