Standard DIN18599 Calculation

Overview

This workflow calculates the overall energy balance of buildings with a monthly resolution, based on the German norm DIN V 18599 (Energy efficiency of buildings — Calculation of the energy needs, delivered energy and primary energy for heating, cooling, ventilation, domestic hot water and lighting)

Application domains:

• residential buildings and non-residential buildings;
• planned or new building construction and existing buildings.
• multi-zone and mono-zone building model

Main Hypotheses:

• The building are considered separately, without mutual shadowing or reflexion effect
• The building envelope surfaces are grouped in 9 orientations (horizontal, North, North-West...), corresdonding to the standard monthly irradiances given in Annex A of the norm DIN V 4108-6

Systems and algorithms

Systems:

• Kepler
• Insel

Algorithms:

• SimStadtPreProc
• UB0039 of Insel

Proof of concept

This Kepler workflow :

• launches Matlab script in non-interactive mode
• waits for the script to finish
• launches INSEL
• displays the monthly heat demand averages as a Kepler Diagram
• writes all the output information in a file
