Download the newest IDA ICE 5.1 beta

Ex1: Temperature change over a power failure

• Step change of temperature compared in 3 different wall constuctions with identical U-value, located in a cold climate
• Version management to execute the simulations within the same project file

Recorded, downloadble video:

Ex2: Glazing and PV-area optimization in an atrium

• Searching for the optimal glazing types/facade and PV panel area in order to minimize simultaneously investments, purchased energy costs and CO2-emission-based penalties
• Optimization period time: 25 years, climate: Denmark
