1. Background The power consumed in buildings is becoming more and more tremendous. Since the demand for electricity is high in the summer, ways to reduce energy use in building is very much encouraged by the government. This may lead to strict rules for owners and new home builders and the use of the thermal insulation or different building materials for both residential and commercial buildings. 2. Importance Energy simulation in buildings offers a valuable tool for engineers and architects to evaluate building energy consumption before the building is built. It can also be used to study the impact of building modification on building energy use. Alternative designs or materials can immediately be evaluated to see how much they affect the annual energy consumption. This could lead to selecting energy efficient designs without sacrificing human comfort. All this may be done in a relatively short period of time , on a home PC. 3. Calculation methods of energy consumption Degree-day method Equivalent cooling days method Bin method Computational simulation Based on dynamic load calculation, and hourly weather data is a must for the computer simulation program in order to make hourly energy simulations. These data consists mainly of the following hourly data: dry and wet bulb temperatures, humidity ratio, atmospheric pressure, wind speed and direction and solar radiation data. 4. Introduction of simulation tools (1)DOE-2 Hourly, whole-building energy analysis program calculating energy performance and life-cycle cost of operation. Can be used to analyze energy efficiency of given designs or efficiency of new technologies. Other uses include utility demand-side management and rebate programs, development and implementation of energy efficiency standards and compliance certification, and training new corps of energy-efficiency conscious building professionals in architecture and engineering schools.
