ENERGY SIMULATION AND DESIGN OPTIMIZATION CONSULTING
WHAT IS ENERGY SIMULATION?
Energy simulation is the process of using advanced software tools to analyze and predict the energy performance of a building. It is a numerical method that allows engineers and architects to evaluate the impact of factors such as design, materials, HVAC systems, and environmental conditions on a building’s energy consumption.
BENEFITS OF ENERGY SIMULATION – DESIGN OPTIMIZATION
Optimize energy efficiency
Provides a comprehensive picture of real-world building operations. Helps TVTK make informed decisions to optimize building energy performance.
Reduce operating costs
Predict energy consumption, identify areas of energy waste, and propose effective energy-saving solutions, significantly reducing long-term operating costs
Improve the indoor environment
Improving factors such as natural light, heat, humidity… inside the building creates a comfortable living and working space, improving the health and productivity of users.
Support for Green Building Certification
Helps ensure projects comply with national standards, green standards (LEED, GREEN MARK. BREEAM,…
Predict and mitigate risks
Predict the energy consumption of each design option, helping investors and design consultants come up with the most suitable and effective solutions
ENERGY SIMULATION & DESIGN OPTIMIZATION CONSULTING SERVICES
VILANDCO provides the following modeling and simulation consultancy services:
Building Energy Modelling (BEM) — a simulation to project the amount of energy consumed by a building. The projection can be compared to a simulation of a similar building without any energy-efficient features, which is also known as a baseline model. This offers real benefits in saving energy; and VILANDCO is among the few experts in Vietnam to offer this service.
Daylighting Simulation — calculates daylight credits for LEED, BREEAM, and Green Star certification schemes. Generate high-quality contour plots to illustrate daylight availability and glare within each zone, block, or slice through the whole building. Summary daylight performance data can be reflected in tabular reports. Accurate multi-zone daylight simulation including the transmission of light through exterior and interior windows and reflection from all surfaces.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) — simulates the effects of wind on buildings and natural ventilation through CFD simulation. This can be used to analyze the impact of surrounding buildings or topography on prevailing winds, or analyze and improve the effectiveness of natural ventilation strategies.
