THE COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM SIMULATION TOOL

–Part 1: Comparison of DeST and LCEM tool–

Abstract

From the viewpoint of indoor environmental control and CO₂ discharge reduction, it’s necessary to evaluate the air-conditioning system in life cycle. And the system simulation is effective for evaluating an air-conditioning system. We compared “DeST” with “LCEM tool”, which are the air-conditioning system simulation program, in the characteristic, calculation algorithm, function and result of simulation for the model building. They have some difference of handling components and the calculation algorithm. However, we showed we can get almost same result when we adjust points that we can.
