Development of Transformation Algorithms for 3D Spatial Models Based on Interior Dimensions for Use in Building Code Verification Procedures
Development of Transformation Algorithms for 3D Spatial Models Based on Interior Dimensions for Use in Building Code Verification Procedures
Against the backdrop of increasing requirements for the energy efficiency of buildings, end-to-end digital design is becoming increasingly important. While thermal building simulation programs work with geometry models based on interior dimensions, building code verification procedures—such as the GEG verification—require reference surfaces based on exterior dimensions. The lack of an automated transition between these measurement systems has, to date, resulted in a high modeling workload and unnecessary costs.
Internal Dimensions of Models
Against the backdrop of increasing energy efficiency requirements for buildings, end-to-end digital planning is becoming increasingly important. While building thermal simulation programs use geometry models based on interior dimensions, building code compliance assessments—such as the GEG assessment—require reference areas based on exterior dimensions. The lack of an automated transition between these measurement systems has, until now, resulted in significant modeling effort and unnecessary costs.
Model - Reference to External Dimensions
Validation using various test models shows that consistent transformation bodies can be generated and the need for manual post-processing can be reduced. This creates a foundation for more efficient integration of building simulation and standards-based verification.
