Optimisation of cooling and heat pump systems through interaction between PackCalc and BSim
How is it possible for the users of the building to identify the optimal energy economical coverage of comfort need? In the project the programmes PackCalc and BSim are integrated, so energy consultants can analyse energy and comfort related consequenses for alternative choices of cooling systems and/or heat pumps with related control strategy.
The purpose of the project was:
To develop a PC-tool, which can help show the economic consequences of different design of systems and choices of components and control strategy in relations to heat pump and air-conditioning systems in buildings. The tool should also assist in relating the economic consequences to the achieved indoor climate in the building.
The resulting tool is a combination (and extension) of two previous existing tools:
- Pack Calculation II for simulating refrigeration and heat pump systems
- BSim for detailed simulation of buildings.
By combining the two tools it has been possible to:
- Enable BSim users to get an insight in the economic and indoor climate consequences of their choice of technical system (heat pump and air-conditioning)
- Enable PackCalc users to get a much more detailed overview – through BSim simulations – of the load situation when dimensioning refrigeration systems and heat pumps.
