November 19 BSUG: Modeling and Calibrating Radiant Systems in OpenStudio
In this lecture, Damon Woods will discuss using OpenStudio to model radiant HVAC systems and leveraging its Parametric Analysis Tool (PAT) capabilities for calibration. Developing and calibrating a model for a building with a complex HVAC system can be a significant challenge for architects and engineers alike. However, new versions of OpenStudio are making this process easier.
This presentation will include a demonstration of setting up a simple building model with a radiant slab in OpenStudio. Once constructed, the model can be adjusted in hundreds of ways very quickly by using the Parametric Analysis Tool that is now available. For existing projects, the building’s actual consumption data can be imported to OpenStudio so that the effects of the parametric adjustments on the model can be contrasted against the building’s actual behavior. This can save significant time and energy during the calibration process.
