I am planning to experiment with upgrades in one representative model. All homes are almost the same. I am carrying out a co-heating experiment in one house to collect actual data, I want to tune my model to act like the actual house, and then apply various changes such as insulation upgrades, new windows etc. My goal is to demonstrate the value of various upgrades to my client. I am going to check out the BEopt link. |

| 2014-10-28 17:08:37 -0500 | asked a question | Is it practical to use open studio to model basic house upgrades? I am working on a project with 85 basic family homes. Is open studio a practical tool to model building upgrades? The homes have the following caricaturists at present: 1. 4 bedrooms, 1 living room 136m^2 2. Using extreme amounts of electricity for heating (10kW average) 3. Located in a very cold climate is south america 4. I want to swap out electric heating with solar thermal (can I model this?) 5. Is there a house template available for "building type" |
