IDA ICE PUD Hands-on session «Localization Switzerland»
Abstract
We take a look at the current and released version 5.1 and its localization for Switzerland. There are many new things that you may not yet be aware of. In the first part, we will go through the following:
- Heating and cooling load calculation: SIA 4010 (technical instructions of SIA 380/2) describes new design periods for the heating and cooling load calculation based on the annual climate data, how it will be included in the next version of SIA 2028. We also show how the heating and cooling load calculation can be done in version 5.1 with the future climate scenarios.
- Energy calculation: You can now compare your “project model” (building as planned) with both a limit and a target value model, as requested in SIA 380/2 (reference buildings). We present the workflow of a complete energy demand calculation and evaluation according to SIA 380/2. And maybe you would then want to compare the results with those according to SIA 380/1 … ?
In the practical part, your task will be:
- to learn how to use SIA simulations in Parametric Runs to optimize your models. Find out how to use this method for optimizing your design or official evidence.
- to get to know the new energy calculation method to fulfill SIA energy requirements by fully automatically creating the SIA 380/2 reference models and comparing your building with its limit and target value.
As a conclusion, we are looking forward to discussing with you our new features and your ideas for further improvements, including good ideas for result presentations.
