Virvil Simulation results

This is part of a trainng course delivered by WEST project (www.westproject.org.uk) on 'Energy Simulation at Building and Urban Scale with special focus on the Virvil SketchUp plugin. This presentation shows the results generated from the simulations when running the Virvil plugin.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Results spreadsheet When the simulation process finishes, the last line states: 'Got the results'.

  2. Simulation results Different sheets in the results inlcude: Building summary Face summary Embodied energy Embodied energy graph Monthly data Type summary Calculation for carbon emission

  3. Simulation results Different sheets in the results inlcude: Building summary Face summary Embodied energy Embodied energy graph Monthly data Type summary Calculation for carbon emission bld_id – SketchUp building Identifier file_id - file Identifier htb2_bld_id - HTB2 building Identifier Volume (m3) height (m) Building type - Name of the SketchUp building type Internal Floor to wall ratio floor height (m) building floor area (m2) heating demand (kWh/year) – total for the building cooling demand (kWh/year) – total for the building embodied energy (kWh) – total for the building embodied carbon (kgC) – total for the building

  4. Simulation results Different sheets in the results inlcude: face_id - SketchUp face Identifier bld_id – SketchUp building Identifier file_id – htb2 file number htb2_bld_id –htb2 building identifier Zone – this is not yet working build_type – Name of SketchUpbuilding type Element - htb2 element identifier face type Construction – SketchUp code for the construction area (m2) orientation (deg) – 0 is south, 180 is north tilt (deg) – 0 deg: vertical, 90 deg: horizontal Building summary Face summary Embodied energy Embodied energy graph Monthly data Type summary Calculation for carbon emission

  5. Simulation results Different sheets in the results inlcude: glazing ratio wall area (m2) window area (m2) window construction solar incident (kWh/m2/year) – solar radiation falling on the face embodied energy code – Spreadsheet code for calculation embodied energy code window – Spreadsheet code for calculation embodied energy (kWh) – for the face including windows embodied carbon (kgC) Building summary Face summary Embodied energy Embodied energy graph Monthly data Type summary Calculation for carbon emission

  6. Simulation results Different sheets in the results inlcude: Building summary Face summary Embodied energy Embodied energy graph Monthly data Type summary Calculation for carbon emission Heating demand for each building Cooling demand for each building Solar falling on each face

  7. Simulation results Different sheets in the results inlcude: Building type – the name of the SketchUp building type Count – the number of each type of building Volume (m3) – all building of this type Building floor area (m2) – all building of this type heating demand (kWh/year) – all building of this type cooling demand (kWh/year) – all building of this type Embodied energy (kwh ) – all building of this type Embodied carbon (t) – all building of this type Building summary Face summary Embodied energy Embodied energy graph Monthly data Type summary Calculation for carbon emission
