Space Heating Analysis

To analysis the potential energy savings from adding heat reduction measures, we created an ESP-r model (Open-source thermal modelling software from the University of Strathclyde. Click here to access.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heat Reduction Measures

To model the impact of the different heating measures, it was necessary to assume certain conditions before and after the measures. This table outlines these:

Thermal Results

The thermal performance of the building was analysed throughout a typical year. The graph shows the expected heating requirements for each flat in the high-rise building.
