Beskrivning

Computer Simulation of Buildings and Solar Energy Systems aims to bridge the gap between the basic concepts and theoretical aspects of solar technology and their practical applications, enabling readers to simulate solar energy systems, solar thermal energy, and thermal performance of buildings. Acknowledging the critical need for robust, scalable simulation tools that can adapt to varied climates, helping professionals and students overcome challenges related to energy efficiency, sustainable urban development, and the optimization of renewable resources, the book covers the fundamentals and latest advances in simulation techniques and tools that are crucial to accelerating the transition to renewable energy.

This is all supported by case studies, example code, equations, datasets, and extensive visuals such as process diagrams, flowcharts, and photos. This book will be a valuable resource to readers at various levels, from practitioners looking to enhance their technical skills in renewable energy and building simulation to academic researchers exploring innovative simulation methodologies. In addition, students looking to understand simulation techniques in this complex, multidisciplinary area will find this an important resource.

Introduces mathematical concepts, numerical methods, programming languages, and energy meteorology
Explores simulation tools tailored for specific key applications, such as solar irradiance analysis and thermal modeling for buildings
Includes several case studies that demonstrate successful implementation in various contexts that are all supported by performance data
Addresses this multidisciplinary area by integrating computer simulation, renewable energy engineering, environmental science, and urban planning

Mer om författaren

Juergen Schumacher (1952-2020) was a mathematician with a PhD in physics from the University of Oldenburg in Germany, who spent his life developing software tools for renewable energy simulation. With a keen sense of detail, he researched the background of simulation algorithms widely used in the energy community and provided full derivations of many formulas around solar irradiance, the physics of photovoltaic cells, building simulation and other domains. Dr. Schumacher managed the research center for renewable energy technologies at HFT Stuttgart before moving to Concordia University in Montreal as a senior scientist for urban scale simulations.Ursula Eicker holds the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Cities and Communities, at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. With a PhD in solid state physics, her work has expanded from the fundamentals of photovoltaics to building physics and renewable energy systems to today’s research on decarbonization of cities. Her research focuses on digital twins to model the urban built environment and transportation systems.
