BcChart : a tool for assessing bioclimatic design potential in early building design stages

Pajek, Luka (author), Košir, Mitja (author)

As bioclimatic design becomes increasingly essential in creating energy-efficient buildings, the need for comprehensive and user-friendly analysis tools continues to grow. BcChart is designed to meet that need, offering in-depth bioclimatic potential analysis based on EnergyPlus Weather files. It helps designers and architects optimize building performance by aligning design strategies with local environmental conditions.

Abstract

Ker postaja bioklimatsko načrtovanje vse pomembnejše pri načrtovanju energijsko učinkovitih stavb, potreba po celovitih in uporabniku prijaznih analitičnih orodjih narašča. BcChart je zasnovan tako, da izpolnjuje to potrebo, saj ponuja poglobljeno analizo bioklimatskega potenciala, ki temelji na podnebnih datotekah EnergyPlus Weather. Načrtovalcem stavb pomaga optimizirati učinkovitost stavbe z usklajevanjem načrtovalskih strategij z lokalnimi podnebnimi razmerami.
