Application of specific models in a general simulation tool

The dynamic building simulation software IDA Indoor Climate and Energy v. 4.0 offers a standard level with fast input for general simulation projects, an advanced level for more flexible modelling, and a developer’s level with open code and editable models for specific problems. This enables that numerical investigations of non-standard systems within a whole-building context can be achieved at low costs. This paper presents three real case applications performed in the scope of a consultancy service.
