An urban thermal tool chain to simulate summer thermal comfort in passive urban buildings
Résumé
This paper presents a simulation tool chain for the prediction of thermal comfort in passive urban buildings during summer and under heat wave conditions. The tool chain encompasses EnergyPlus building energy model and the Urban Weather Generator and UrbaWind tools to consider the impacts of the urban environment on building loads. This chain of tools is computationally efficient and does not require notable expertise for the simulations. To assess its accuracy, this simulation results are compared to in situ measurements. This paper describes the measurement setup, analyzes the measurement results and reveals a satisfactory model accuracy through a comparison
