SURVEY OF SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY-IN JAPAN AND ASIA

摘要

The present status of building energy simulation technology in Japan and neighboring countries is reported. The names are listed which are leading research organizations in this field in Korea, Taiwan and main land China. In Japan, a lot of effort was made in the past fifteen years to establish energy simulation technology. Dynamic heat load program and weather data for 25 main cities were developed in the first half of 1970s. There were nine computer programs which predict year round energy consumption of a building through the simulation of air conditioning system operation, in 1980. They were investigated in detail. An example problem was prepaired to test them. The comparison of results was made between above nine programs, DOE-2.1 program and the newest HASP/ACSS program.
