Following section describes the our service packages. Some of the packages like Micro climate design and Fire spread analysis etc are executed in partner ship with other institutions or universities who are having software and hardware infrastructure required to perform various simulations.
High End Computational Services
Micro Climate Design
This is a relatively advance work and extremely helpful to architects. Generally used in designing of parks, landscape and huge atriums of buildings. While planning a township the outside air flow pattern, wind pressure on different walls, façade and air flow interaction with the terrain is modeled to give an idea of thermal comfort and create a base for further decision making for the Architects.
Ventilation & Pollutant Dispersion Analysis
Ventilation systems are based on simulations carried out by computational fluid dynamics. Placements of control instrumentation like CO sensors are decided by the air flow and concentration of these pollutants. Further ductless ventilation system and under floor Air Distribution System (UFAD) are also designed and validated by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models.
Life Cycle Cost Calculation (LCC)
Based on the energy simulations the annual energy use is evaluated from the calibrated energy model. This energy use value can be considered as the billed energy use for the proposed building as this is usually as close as 5 % to the actual usage. These annual energy values are the source of Life cycle cost assessment for the building system. These calculations also include the time value of money and depreciation in building system performance etc.
Energy Optimizations of the Envelop
The energy model is created and simulations are performed for various cases. The breakup of all energy components is computed and compared with the different options of construction material, insulation, orientation, windows sizing, glazing and plant room efficiency measures. After doing financial analysis the most feasible case in terms of cost (Net present worth, return on investment and payback period) is recommended for implementation. Over all the life cycle cost component of the building energy efficiency measure are thoroughly studied for the client.
Energy Optimizations of Plant and HVAC System
Simulation of design day for the particular location is carried out, which is helpful in calculating accurate heat load estimation and the transient thermal behavior of the building. Including thermal lags and time of peak demands etc.
Energy Compliance and Rating System
Compliance With Local Energy Codes and Assistance in Green Rating System (BEE, TERI GRIHA)
As the prices of energy are increasing it is becoming a challenge for the environmental and ecological sustainability. The legislations of countries are looking for energy efficiency measures in all aspects of life. Authorities have developed codes and standards for energy efficiency in buildings as well. Many building rating system are in place. These rating systems include LEED by United States Green Building Council (USGBC), Compliance of Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) India 2007 and TERI's Green Rating and Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA). We have all the necessary expertise in code implementation in the above mentioned areas.
Green Building Automation & M&V Plan Development
Development of Energy Information & Dissemination System
This service has been devised for building automation companies (BAS), where they are willing to demonstrate their capabilities in energy data analysis and reporting. The service visualizes the need of such energy information system that can be integrated with the building automation and control system and can be accessed from any where on the World Wide Web for energy related information for a subject facility. Depending on the requirement and specification of clients, broadly three types of Energy information and Dissemination System (EIDS) can be recommended. These systems vary in their depth of calculation, analysis complexities and cost of implementation. The simplest system would only be assessing the energy meters and few temperature sensor data and displaying them in different formats and graphs with a little bit of analysis. The complete EIDS would be capable of storing, displaying, analyzing the data and if required generating alert and predictive alarm based on concept of advanced statistical or Neuro-fuzzy systems. This system is also expected to carry out automatics diagnostics of energy incident, power flow and rectification. Various component of this service are listed below
1.Full Fledge Fault Detection and Diagnostics System (Deliverable: SMS , Emails)
