DesignBuilder Energy Simulation
Budget: $250 – $750 SGD
The below is AI generated but wat i need is quite a simple simulation, do not even need a detailed HVAC, i have the plans ready too
I need a complete DesignBuilder model of an educational facility that will primarily house classrooms. The focus is a detailed energy-consumption study, so the file must be set up with accurate schedules, material layers, and HVAC templates that reflect typical teaching hours and occupancy patterns for a classroom block.
I will provide plans, elevations, and location data as soon as the project starts; you will translate these into a clean 3-D geometry, run the EnergyPlus engine inside DesignBuilder, and fine-tune inputs until the results converge to realistic annual kWh figures. If you normally script parametric runs or use Sensitivity Analysis within DesignBuilder, feel free to include that approach—my key requirement is reliable energy-use output that I can drop directly into an academic report.
Deliverables
• DesignBuilder project file (.dsb) ready for peer review
• PDF report summarising annual and monthly energy consumption, key assumptions, and screenshots of model zones & glazing ratios
• CSV export of hourly results for further post-processing
The project will be accepted once the model opens without errors in DesignBuilder v7 (or later), the simulation runs to completion, and the figures align with typical benchmarks for classroom buildings in the specified climate zone.
