Question

Select one form of microclimate analysis that relates to your building and show how it might be used to improve simulations

Answer 1

Microclimate analysis plays a vital role between materials and air. we can take TRNSYS for the analysis of the building. TRNSYS is the package for energy simulation in the building. Mostly ENVImet is used for the simulation of the buildings in larger urban area, But analysis is required for a building As asked is about a building, this simulation package can be used. This TRNSYS uses the measured data of the thermal behaviour like air temperature, surface temperature humidity, air velocity obtained for the simulation of the building. The accuracy can be checked by the data of the same obtained from the metrological department for that area. This can be used to improve the simulations of the building. The measured value and obtained value for the building may differ because metrological data provides for larger area which is annually obtained.
