The software bSol addresses to the professionals (engineers and architects) eager to optimize the parameters of a building project according to the local environment.

A STUDY ON AC LOAD IMPACT BY AC PATTERN AND HEAT INSULATION METHOD OF SUPER HIGH–RISE RESIDENCES

This paper examines air-conditioning loads by several air-conditioning patterns and heat methods of asuper high-rise residence by using the dynamic simulation software THERB (the simulation softwareof the thermal environment of residential buildings) which can estimate temperature, humidity, sensibletemperature, and heating/cooling load for multiple zones of buildings. As high-rise residences, the ratiothat the structural skeleton dominates a floor area is bigger than that of ordinary residences, and itsskeleton is used concrete generally.
