Thermal Modelling

GET A QUOTE

Thermal modelling involves building a computational model of a building and using it to run simulations, allowing predictions to be made around the building’s performance. It can provide, amongst other things, information relating to energy consumption, temperatures, lighting levels, overheating assessments, ventilation and heating and cooling loads.


At Ashby Energy we use the Design Builder Energy Plus software to carry out thermal modelling (link to Design Builder website). It satisfies the requirements of CIBSE AM11, BB101 (Building Bulletins) and is also approved for the following BREEAM credits:-

 

  • HEA01 visual comfort
  • HEA04 Thermal Comfort
  • ENE01 Carbon Reduction
  • ENE04 Low Carbon Design

 

The use of thermal modelling software can assist Clients, Architects and the design team in understanding how design decisions influence the building performance.

Heating and Cooling Load Calculations

Thermal Modelling software is used to calculate the Heating and Cooling Loads of buildings. 
Condensation risk analysis is becoming an ever big presence in the construction industry.
To support the L1A SAP calculations process Psi values will be required to ensure overall compliance. A Psi value is the amount of heat loss that is experienced at the junction of a building like the corner of a house or around where the windows sit.
