To make aenergy simulation<\/strong> of a building we must have a model that represents the geometry we want to study, this model can be more or less complex and must respond to certain design standards<\/strong>, different from those followed in architectural design. We need a thermal or energy model of the building<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article we are going to introduce OpenStudio workflow<\/strong>, in relation to this need to define the thermal model of the building, we are going to present several options or possibilities <\/strong>that encompass different workflows and different programs or tools. With el Master in BIM and Efficient Energy Management <\/a>You will receive the knowledge to use analysis, modeling and simulation tools for facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything you need to know about OpenStudio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although for many OpenStudio is a common work tool and they know perfectly well how it works, we must begin the entry with a brief introduction about the program, What is OpenStudio? What is your function?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenStudio<\/strong> is a collection of tools to model and perform energy simulations of buildings<\/strong> and has EnergyPlus<\/a> as an energy calculation engine and Radiance to perform natural light analysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is about one of the most powerful tools<\/strong> currently to carry out energy studies, developed in collaboration by NREL, ANL, LBNL, ORNL and PNNL. Furthermore, it is a free and open source software<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summary we can define the OpenStudio application as a EnergyPlus graphical interface<\/strong>, which facilitates the entry of data, the definition of air conditioning systems, and the visualization of results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, it makes working with EnergyPlus friendly, which although it is a very powerful calculation option <\/strong>It is not a viable option for average users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to mention that we are going to use the latest available version of OpenStudio<\/strong> As of the date of writing this document (OpenStudio SDK version: 3.1.0), since depending on the version we use, a different workflow may be followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several ways to define a valid geometry<\/strong> to make a model compatible with OpenStudio; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
