Welcome to Energy Efficient Building Tools

This is a repository with different tools.

Web Tools

Building Energy Simulation

Encome

Energy Conservation Measure Tool that aims to evaluate the best trad-off between reduction of energy consumption of building and improving comfort, cost of interventions and de-risking in energy efficiency.

Cerplan

The tool is an advanced web-based decision support platform, which revolutionizes the management of energy renovation for public and private entities.

Ventilative Cooling Potential Tool

The ventilative cooling potential tool aims at assessing the cooling potential of ventilative cooling (fx. using natural forces) in a reference thermal and ventilation zone representing the building in its context.

Indoor Air Quality Self-Diagnosis Tool

The tool helps school managers estimate classroom CO₂ levels based on key factors like indoor/outdoor temperature, number of students, and window usage. It also provides suggestions to improve natural ventilation management.

Building Life Cycle Analisys

LCC tool

The tool enables users to track all costs related to one or more façade systems of a building and compare the costs and key performance indicators (KPIs) of different façade alternatives for the same building.

Building Energy Analisys

Benchmarking

Retail buildings (BuildON)

The tool evaluates building performance by analyzing energy consumption and indoor comfort. It compares historical and current data to forecast usage trends and assess efficiency, helping energy managers identify opportunities to reduce consumption or improve comfort.

European building stock(IWG5)

Simulation-based database that includes energy, costs, and environmental impact data for various renovation packages.

Commercial buildings (Moderate)

The tool has been designed to visualize, compare, and analyse the performance of buildings using specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Clustering

Geoclustering EPC

Analyze a building stock by identifying its characteristics and clustering buildings based on specific parameters. These clusters can then be used to run simulations aimed at improving energy efficiency by modifying variables such as the thermal transmittance of the building envelope or the efficiency of technical systems.

Measurment and Verification

M&V in commercial building

The tool aims to evaluate the energy savings achieved following the implementation of an Energy Conservation Measure (ECM). An ECM may involve actions related to building energy retrofits.

LLM

BrickLLM

BrickLLM is a web app for generating RDF files following the BrickSchema ontology using Large Language Models (LLMs). It is based on the python library BrickLLM.

APIs

Encome API

API to simulate building performance using ISO52016, 52010, based on pybuildingenergy.

IWG5 API

API to get Parametric simulation-driven data of energy consumption, costs, and environmental impacts in baseline and renovation packages for European residential and office building typologies.

HUB

Plus Energy Building (PEB) HUB

The PEB HUB is a dynamic platform where designers can exchange knowledge and share their experiences in Plus Energy Buildings design.

Industrialised Deep Retrofit (IDR) HUB

IDR Database, in which it is possible to get the principles of deep renovation with industrialized construction methods through showcases.

PEB4all

Informative page to access data on Plus Energy Buildings.

Open Source library

pyBuildingEnergy

pyBuildingEnergy aims to provide an assessment of building performance both in terms of energy and comfort. It is possible to assess the energy performance of the building using ISO 52106-1:2018.

BrickLLM

BrickLLM is a Python library for generating RDF files following the BrickSchema ontology using Large Language Models (LLMs).

PyBuildingCluster

This library provides comprehensive tools for analyzing building energy performance data through clustering, regression modeling, and sensitivity analysis
