Abstract
Low temperature heating and high temperature cooling
systems such as thermally activated building systems
(TABS) offer the chance to use low exergy
sources, which can be very beneficial financially as
well as ecologically when using renewable energy
sources.
The above has led to a considerable increase of water
based radiant systems in modern buildings and a need
for reliable simulation tools to predict the indoor environment
and energy performance.
This paper describes the comparison of the building
simulation tools IDA ICE, IES , EnergyPlus
and TRNSYS. The simulation tools are compared to
each other using the same room and boundary conditions.
The results show significant differences in predicted
room temperatures, heating and cooling degree hours
as well as thermal comfort in winter and summer.
