Eq. (1.9) takes into account only heat transfers by conductance. Energy dem<strong>and</strong>s for<br />

ventilation <strong>and</strong> infiltration have to be calculated separately.<br />

Bin method <strong>and</strong> Bin modified method<br />

This method evolves from <strong>the</strong> VBDD procedure. It is used to calculate <strong>the</strong> annual building<br />

heating <strong>and</strong> cooling loads for a set <strong>of</strong> temperature samples called “bins”. The space-heating<br />

energy dem<strong>and</strong> is determined based on <strong>the</strong> following relation:<br />

The Bin procedure is recommended for buildings where <strong>the</strong> magnitude <strong>of</strong> internal gains is<br />

dominated. The Bin modified method accounts for <strong>the</strong> impact <strong>of</strong> <strong>solar</strong> <strong>and</strong> wind effects on<br />

energy consumption <strong>and</strong> is useful for buildings which do not exceed 2,500 m 2 <strong>of</strong> floor area.<br />

DETAILED DYNAMIC SIMULATION METHODS<br />

The simulation models are detailed <strong>and</strong> satisfactorily accurate tools that can be very useful<br />

both for energy-efficient design <strong>and</strong> for <strong>the</strong> cost-effective retr<strong>of</strong>itting <strong>of</strong> buildings. The<br />

flow chart <strong>of</strong> computer s<strong>of</strong>tware for <strong>the</strong> use in determining <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>rmal behavior <strong>of</strong><br />

buildings is presented in Fig. 1.1.
