Building System Robustness Assessment Framework

Project Idea

This framework is being developed to assess several aspects of building performance under future conditions. It includes a filebased definition of building configurations and expected future scenarios. Building simulation approaches include simplified, monthly calculations as well as more detailed, hourly calculations. The simulation outputs are stored in Excel files showing one value (e.g. annualized GHG emissions) for each configuration and each scenario. Robustness assessment according to standard, scenario-based metrics is planned to be added.

Code Installation

  1. Clone the repository to your local drive
  2. In the file simulation_coordination.py change the filepaths to your specific data location (I am working on relative filepaths)
  3. In the file simulation_engine_dynamic.py change the filepath that directs to the RC Simulator.

Prerequisites

To be able to run the dynamic assessment, the RC Simulator needs to be installed: RC Simulator

--> due to a recent update of the RC simulator, the newest version is currently not compatible (I am working on this)

Simulation Workflow

The simulation workflow is explained in more detail on this Wiki page.

Example Simulation

--> A case study example will follow.
