OS-25 Development of an Integrated Energy Simulation Tool for Buildings and MEP Systems, the BEST (Part 37) : Outline of Hot Water Supply System Program

Abstract

This study aims to develop a calculation tool, which is able to simulate overall energy consumption of air-conditioning systems, electric systems and plumbing systems for buildings. This paper outlines the framework and system that facilitate especially the development of a simulation tool, which enables the design of plumbing systems as well as calculating energy and water consumption spent on hot water supply system operation while contributing to the conservation of energy and water sources.
