3.1 Building description 62<br />

EnergyPlus 3-D model <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> building<br />

In <strong>the</strong> EneryPlus-System, heat <strong>and</strong> mass balance calculations are conducted for <strong>the</strong><br />

separate control volumes called zones. The modelling <strong>of</strong> heat transfer for building<br />

components includes conduction, natural/forced convection <strong>and</strong> long/short wave <strong>radiation</strong>.<br />

In order to achieve a good accuracy rate <strong>of</strong> calculations, a detailed geometric model <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

building, based on <strong>the</strong> architectural plans <strong>and</strong> specifications, is created in a threedimensional<br />

Cartesian right h<strong>and</strong> coordinate system (X-axis points east, Y-axis points<br />

north, Z-axis points up). Rendering views <strong>of</strong> 3-D models with shading detached <strong>and</strong><br />

attached surfaces are presented in Fig. 3.9 <strong>and</strong> Fig. 3.10.<br />
