Energy efficiency and sustainability

TRNSYS

TRNSYS is a simulation program commonly used in the fields of building simulation and renewable energy engineering: solar thermal processes, ground coupled heat transfer, wind and photovoltaic systems, among others.

Open Studio

OpenStudio is a collection of software tools to support whole building energy modeling using EnergyPlus and advanced daylight analysis using Radiance.

EnergyPlus

EnergyPlus is a whole building energy simulation program used to model both energy consumption for heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and plug and process loads and water use in buildings.

THERM

THERM is a state-of-the-art computer program based on the finite-element method and used to model two-dimensional heat-transfer effects in building components such as windows, walls, foundations, roofs, doors and other products where thermal bridges are of concern.

PEB (Belgium)

The PEB software is the official calculation tool provided by the Belgian energy performance of buildings program and used (among others things) to verify compliance of the requirements for each particular project.

Python

Python is a free, open-source programming language which has a huge and growing ecosystem with a variety of open-source packages and libraries.

Some of them are: Numpy, Pandas, CoolProp, pvlib.
