Using ENERGY-10 for Trade-Off Evaluations of Energy-Efficient Strategies in IEA Task 23

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

The International Energy Agency's Solar Heating and Cooling Program Task 23 entitled, 'Optimization of Solar Energy Use in Large Buildings', focuses on the study of a design process that best enables a realization of low-energy buildings. The 5-year task is in its second year. Through a series of four subtasks, participants from 12 countries first identify the process employed in case-studybuildings selected in each country and then focus on design-process recommendations. Key to the identification of appropriate strategies is the use of tools for trade-off analysis. The U.S. computer program ENERGY-10 is being used within the Task as an example of a design tool with most of the characteristics required. This paper discusses how ENERGY-10 is being used and identifies someintermediate results.
