A User-Friendly Building Energy Consumption Program

Article Preview

Abstract:

Building energy simulation program plays an important role in reducing energy consumption for heating in North China. For the past 60 years, a wide range of building energy simulation programs have been developed. However, in China, building energy simulation programs are not popularized smoothly because of the problems such as unfriendly interface, complex usage and excessively specialized. This paper presents a new building energy simulation program with B/S structure. As a collection of building energy simulation and economic analysis, this program can be accepted by the professionals and non-professionals due to its accuracy and easy operation.
