OpenBuildings™ Station Designer Help

Energy Analysis

An integrated workflow enable OpenBuildings Station Designer models to be transferred to OpenBuildings Energy Simulator for Energy Analysis. The workflow is summarized here:

  1. OpenBuildings Station Designer creates an Analytical Space Model (ASM) DGN file using ASM tools
  2. The ASM DGN is opened in OpenBuildings Energy Simulator
  3. With the ASM read into OpenBuildings Energy Simulator, it is possible to perform energy analysis and design systems for the building
  4. Refine the design using OpenBuildings Energy Simulator features to maximize building energy performance.
