Een simulatieomgeving voor het dynamisch simuleren van klimaatinstallaties. A simulation platform for the dynamic simulation of climate control equipment.

The environment demands clean and energy efficient processes. At the same time, higher demands are being placed on thermal comfort, whilst we are also interested in how climate control equipment will behave over time - for instance in terms of reliability and control. The only way to meet all these needs is to use dynamic simulation. The Climasim project strives to develop a simulation platform that will allow several different building services components to be linked together to form climate control units. This services model can then be coupled to a building model. Both receive climate and usage input.The simulation platform consists of a library of models, a basic program with a user-friendly interface, and interfaces with the building models of the HENK and VA114 applications. The Climasim project is also developing educational tools for simulating climate control equipment. There are a number of different partners involved in the project. Aside from four educational and research institutes , these include four building services companies. The applications and models that are developed through the Climasim project will be made available free of charge over the internet.
