  7. The buildings in US consume nearly 41% of the total energy consumption across the nation, and are responsible for emitting nearly 40% of CO2 emissions. Copyright © 2014 Hi-Tech CADD Services. All Rights Reserved.

  8. In order to curb the wastage of energy, to reduce the utility bills and reduce carbon footprints and have an overall positive impact on the environ it is very important to develop tools and technologies for energy simulation, analysis and sustainability optimization.

  9. Development of software that enables automatic calibration of models for building energy simulation is a step towards this direction. Copyright © 2014 Hi-Tech CADD Services. All Rights Reserved.

  10. In order to estimate, predict and further make design changes for energy improvements in the existing building, is possible via BEM, i.e. building energy modeling. Copyright © 2014 Hi-Tech CADD Services. All Rights Reserved.

  11. The Department of energy at ORNL, has proposed a whole building energy simulation tool, that estimates the energy consumption based on weather data and based on the variety of input parameters related to HVAC systems, water heating, lighting, occupancy schedules etc. Copyright © 2014 Hi-Tech CADD Services.

  14. One of the Leading Researchers at ORNL This process can be time consuming and complex. One of the leading researchers at ORNL, JibonanadaSanyal said, “Currently, the biggest barrier is the cost of getting an accurate model of the pre-retrofit building because it requires hiring an expert Copyright © 2014 Hi-Tech CADD Services.

  15. One of the Leading Researchers at ORNL It is touted that the ‘Autotune’ software will make energy simulation in building design rapid and proffer reduced green building costs and financial benefits to stake holders. Copyright © 2014 Hi-Tech CADD Services. All Rights Reserved.

  16. Once the software is developed and ready for the market, one of the prime focus will be to collaborate with universities and the industry segments where energy modeling is an integral part of building design, and help these sectors make automated calibration an integral part of their design approach.

  17. During the process of this software development, developers used extremely powerful technologies to address all the possibilities. ORNL’s 27-petaflop Titan supercomputer and the National Institute for Computational Sciences’ Nautilus system was used for conducting simulations of several buildings and to run simulations for a half million buildings, in less than an hour, generating data of around hundreds of terabytes.

  18. More than 150 important parameters that play a major role in reducing computational loads and enabling higher degree of accuracy were identified, and machine learning algorithms were developed. Copyright © 2014 Hi-Tech CADD Services. All Rights Reserved.

  19. Finally, when the software was tested, it was found that the fully automated calibration process, allowed very less acope for errors, i.e. below one percent in all the building types that were tested. Copyright © 2014 Hi-Tech CADD Services. All Rights Reserved.

  20. Besides, the developers propose that the model calibration using ‘autotune’ will not only be precise, but also speedy and less costly as compared to manual calibration. The developers are said to release the software and make it publicly available in September 2015. Copyright © 2014 Hi-Tech CADD Services. All Rights Reserved.
