July 16th Simulation Forum
Building Simulation Optimization for Climatic Passive Heating and Cooling Design: Advanced Materials, Workflows, and Tools
Jeremiah Crossett, Senior Analyst, Phase Change Energy Solutions Inc. and Founder of NRGSIM Inc. and Eric Youngson, President and Founder of Succession Ecological Services (SES)
Modern low energy buildings require innovative strategies that maintain occupant comfort while reducing energy consumption through the use of passive systems and sophisticated materials. Historically, building design has focused on active systems that increase complexity, drive costs higher, and result in environmental degradation. This presentation focuses on early load reduction that allows for smaller, more efficient mechanical systems through the optimization of building envelope design. Through the use of Pareto front analysis, designs are able to achieve optimal combinations of window, insulation, and phase change material (PCM) to achieve a desired balance between energy performance and cost objectives for various climate zones.
New tools developed in part by the presenters will be demonstrated using the jE+ EA cloud optimization Energy Plus shell, the "Eppy" Python scripting package, and a custom version of Energy Plus with enhanced PCM features. In addition, a brief demonstration of the NRGSIM web based energy modeling application will be provided.
Presenters:
Eric Youngson has been involved in whole building simulation since 2007 using a wide variety of tools and working on approximately 78 projects. These projects have had a wide diversity of goals and methods ranging from LEED NC, manufacturer's product evaluation using prototype buildings in representative climate zones, calibrated models of existing buildings (including laboratory, high-rise multifamily, campus scale modeling), and post occupancy evaluation of major renovations including functional testing and occupant surveys. He has degrees in Renewable Energy Engineering from Oregon Institute of Technology, and English Literature with minors in Mathematics & Computer Science from Michigan State University. Eric loves the outdoors and the urban environment equally and is grateful to be able to make a living balancing the tension between them.
Jeremiah Crossett has been an active Energy Plus user since version 4, in addition to being familiar with a variety of modeling software, including; eQUEST, WUFI, Therm, System advisor model , TRNSYS and ESP-r. Since 2011 as Senior Analyst at Phase Change Energy Solutions he has worked with top level design teams on over 100 projects including airports, offices, libraries, dormitories, schools, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, passive house, net zero and living building challenge projects. At NRGSIM Inc. he has modeled manufacturing facilities for LEED BD & C and calibrated offices building models for LEED EB O&M. In addition to energy modeling projects, he has performed exemplary calculations for LEED certification of a brewery, analysis of wind turbines, solar hot water systems, and building integrated photovoltaic [BIPV] systems. He has performed several energy audits, and blower door testing for passive house projects as well as worked as an installer of photovoltaic systems and vertical axis wind turbines. Jeremiah is a LEED Green Associate who has attended numerous trainings, including eQuest, Design Builder and Energy Plus and has been self-training in building energy systems & software for over seven years. |
