Cloud Auto-debugging: Make Energy Modeling Sexy
If you worked on an energy modeling project, you must have encountered debugging process. Whether it is because of model structure issues (e.g., severe errors like missing branches) or human error (e.g., type in wrong fan curve coefficient, causes large energy consumption) or set point hours not met, the debugging takes a long time, and it is frustrating. The typical workflow of this debugging process is a trial and error. 1. Change a little bit in the model following by the
Investigate Your Model in An Efficient Way With The New Time-series Plot Function
Ever need to investigate your HVAC system performance in hourly resolution? Or need to demonstrate the HVAC system performance to code authority or clients? We typically export the hourly time-series data from an energy modeling software in a .csv file. Then import the .csv file in excel sheet for plotting, or write a script in R, MatLab or Python for data visualization. With the BuildSimHub, all these steps can be reduced to one click, and below is the demonstration of how t
Video: The All New BuildSimHub (Part 1)
After many sleepless nights, countless cups of coffees and numerous talks with our beta users, we finally launched our all new BuildSimHub. Let's take a quick look at how BuildSimHub can optimize your energy modeling workflow, assure your model quality and help you manage your project! 1. Create a new project 2. Create a new branch (design alternative or system) 3. Submit a new commit (update) Okay, now you know some basic, let's start explore what we can do with your team! 4
Video--The New 3D Viewer for Energy Models
Last week, we released our new 3D viewer interface, which addressed multiple issues raised in our beta tests. The new 3D viewer is faster, and intuitive to use. Below are a few video clips that demo the main functions of the 3D viewer. 1. Access the 3D viewer 2. Interact with the geometry 3. Shading analysis performed on any hour in a year 4. Intuitive heating and cooling load analysis 5. Construction data analysis 6. HVAC data analysis To use the 3D viewer, all you need is j
