Comparison of two dynamic simulation programs for modeling building energy systems

Within the scope of this work, the suitability of the two simulation tools TRNSYS and EnergyPlus is to be analyzed on the basis of a real example in existing buildings. The investigations should include the modeling of the building and the associated energy system. In addition, a subsequent CO2 optimization of the heat supply and/or an investigation of the thermal comfort can be carried out.

  • Interest in building energy systems
  • Experience with simulation programs
  • Basic knowledge of thermodynamics
