Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Heat Gains in the Heating Season

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the description and verification of an energy model of a building using the BSim software. The aim is to determine the effect of the basic heat gains on the energy consumption of a building. Simulations were performed on the basis of the actual hourly-interval climatic data over a whole year. It has been found, that the highest heat gain comes from solar radiation.This paper is concerned with the description and verification of an energy model of a building using the BSim software.
