ABSTRACT

This chapter presents a project that aims to create a DesignBuilder model of a large office building located in Ulsan, South Korea. The office is located in climate Zone 4A: Mixed Humid, as defined by ASHRAE 90.1-2010. One will learn to model a large office building and analyse the key results of a whole building energy simulation. The building is a large office with five floors. The building is located in Ulsan, Korea. Ulsan has a monsoon-influenced humid subtropical climate, with somewhat cold but dry winters and hot, humid summers. Details of activity, equipment load and lighting load in each of the room are provided. The building is centrally heated and cooled. Efficiency details of the HVAC systems are provided. Base case parameters as per ASHRAE 90.1-2010 are to be found. The DesignBuilder model for the base case and design case are to be prepared.
