Thank you @chris for your comment.
Let’s say for instance we want to analyze the impact of glazing ratio on energy efficiency of buildings (in a certain climate e.g. Dubai), regardless of their mechanical/HVAC systems. In other words we want to look at the problem from an architectural point of view.
On the one hand, if we use ideal air loads, the results won’t include any COP, and on the other hand, if we set mechanical/HVAC systems, we should involve so many parameters and do multiple simulations which are far from the aim.
Please have a look at the attached image. It shows 3 pages of a green building code in Dubai, explaining the minimum requirements of HVAC systems.
According to your experience, do you think if there is any way to avoid modelling multiple HVAC systems while being able to reach results ranging close to reality?
Thanks
