DEVELOPMENT OF WINDOW MODELS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SIMULATION IN THE EARLY DESIGN STAGE FOR BIM UTILIZATION (PART 1) : INVESTIGATION OF THE IMPACT OF WINDOW MODELS ON HEAT LOAD

Abstract

This study focuses on window, which have a large impact on environmental simulation, and has developed window model that incorporates the precise geometry information of window and the attribute information on thermal and optical properties required for the calculation of heat load and light environment. This enables designers to carry out environmental simulations and improve the design by addressing the aforementioned issues of information components, and is expected to increase the number of studies for the optimization of openings, particularly in residential buildings.
