Energy simulation, single housing, sustainable building, ChileAbstract
Energy simulation systems allow analyzing the environmental quality and demand of buildings, but they must have reliable and proper procedures. This paper identifies relevant conditions of energy simulation systems for the study of single-family homes, based on the analysis of a dozen programs and various experiences in south central Chile. A review of capabilities was conducted, simulating the same case in all systems and making interviews with expert users. Besides it studied the incidence of background data and different strategies for analysis the environmental performance of housing. Revealing significant characteristics in the energy study of detached residential buildings. Finally it suggests reviewing certain conditions to ensure the effectiveness of the environmental analysis and subsequent actions.
