Abstract

This paper presented a co-simulation method using EnergyPlus and CHAMPS-Multizone for combined energy efficiency and IAQ analysis. In each time step, the CHAMPS-Multizone simulates the pollutant balance, and the ventilation rate required to control the contaminant concentrations under pre-established threshold values. EnergyPlus uses the ventilation rate to simulate the heat, air, and moisture balance, and the energy and daylighting performance. The Building Controls Virtual Test Bed (BCVTB) is used for the run-time data exchange. A 3-zone building was used to test and verify the method. The co-simulation model was developed, implement in a Virtual Design Studio (VDS) software framework with graphical user interface for integrated building system design, and found to be especially useful in analyzing the interaction between IAQ and energy efficiency measures.
