User data is data input directly by the designer through the UI. The data is changed according to the current status and purpose of the building in the process of calculating and analyzing the energy of the building. User data is developed to reduce the type of user data as much as possible for the convenience of designers, and can be developed in the direction of reducing the type of variables as much as possible. The types of user data are shown in the following [Table 3].

Type of user data Explanation Select floor level of building . Displays the number of floors of the modeled building in the UI and enables designers to select the floors they want for energy analysis
. Enable modeling of the whole building
Select type of building . Choose between apartments / offices / schools Select range to analyze . Allows you to choose between cooling, heating, and heating Select system free space . Allows you to choose whether or not to apply a heating or cooling system for each modeled zone (or space) Choose location . Choosing a new location for modeled buildings (ex) Seoul, Busan, Ulsan Select surrounding status . Allows you to select the surroundings of the modeled building
. Choose from Country / Suburbs / City / Ocean / Urban.

For example, the designer selects the entire floor as the number of floors of the building through the UI, selects both the school as the type of the building, the air conditioning and heating as the area to be analyzed, the warehouse of the school as the unapplied space, the city as Seoul, and the city as the surroundings. The selected data can be used as user data.

The basic data related to the simulation of the building is data necessary for optimizing the simulation, and may include a period and a range of simulation for the energy analysis of the building and a setting value of an initial environment for the simulation. Basic data related to simulation can be difficult to enter directly by architects who are not experts in the field of simulation. Therefore, the basic data related to the simulation is stored in the storage unit 130 as an optimized value, and thus can be fixedly used. However, the architect can modify or adjust the basic data related to the simulation if necessary. Basic data related to the simulation are shown in the following [Table 4].

Basic data related to simulation Explanation Version Building -Loads Convergence Tolerance Value / Temperature Convergence Tolerance Value
Maximum Number of Warmup Days
Timestep Simulatoncontrol RunPeriod SurfaceConvectionAlgorithm: Inside SurfaceConvectionAlgorithm: Outside HeatBalanceAlgorithm

Basic data related to the building system is the data related to the heating and cooling system applied to the building. Basic data related to facility systems can also be difficult for architects to understand and make decisions on their own. Therefore, the basic data related to the facility system is stored in the storage unit 130 as an optimized value, the architect can change the set value of the air conditioning system if necessary. [Table 5] shows an example of the air conditioning system applied according to the type of building.

On the other hand, the type of basic data related to the facility system may be classified into mechanical data of the air conditioning systems applied to the building and data for simulating the air conditioning system. Data for simulating the applied air conditioning system can be classified into schedule related data, internal acquisition heat (People, Lights, Electric, Infiltration) data, weather related data, and the like. Mechanical data for mechanical installation of the applied air conditioning system are shown in Table 6, for example. Mechanical data in [Table 6] is classified by type of air conditioning system set in [Table 5].

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the user input unit 110 may support a drag & drop function when designing a building. In addition, when the present embodiment further includes a design module (not shown), the user input unit 110 may provide an interface between the design module and the user. The user can use that interface to generate design data by using a design module.

The display unit 120 displays various screens related to the operation of the device 100, such as a simulation state and results of the energy management module 140, and a questionnaire screen for setting priorities of the components. The questionnaire screen for setting priorities is a screen for receiving a preference of a building owner or a designer for each component.

To this end, the embodiment may further include a data conversion module (not shown). That is, the design data generated by the design module (not shown) may be in the form of a data file generated by a building design program such as CAD or a data file generated by a building information model (BIM) design tool program. The data conversion module (not shown) may convert such types of files into, for example, BIM-related international standard data files (IFCs) or in the form of commercially popular files such as gbXML. The shape-converted design data may be stored in the storage unit 130 and used by an energy management module or a design module (not shown).

2 is a block diagram illustrating an energy management module according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The energy management module 140 of FIG. 2 may perform a simulation for predicting energy of a building while automatically changing a component of the building, and determine or recommend an optimal component. To this end, the energy management module 140 includes a user interface (UI) generator 141, an energy rating calculator 142, an energy calculator 143, a component derivator 144, and a priority determiner 145. ) May be included.

The UI generator 141 may generate each UI for receiving a target energy efficiency grade, a user data to be described later, a questionnaire required for priority setting, and the like, from the user. The controller 150 may display each UI generated by the UI generator 141 on the display 120. The UI generator 141 may not be included in the energy management module 140 but may be included in the device 100.

The energy rating calculator 142 may predict or calculate the energy efficiency rating of the building using information related to the energy efficiency of the building. The energy rating calculation unit 142 may calculate the energy efficiency rating of the building by using the calculation method proposed in the building energy efficiency rating calculation standard (building energy efficiency rating certification system operation regulation) set by the government.

The information related to the energy efficiency of the building may be physical information of the building including the area, size, height, floor thickness, construction material, material of the building, and the like. The physical information of the building is included in the design data of the building. The energy rating calculator 142 may automatically extract physical information from the design data stored in the storage 130.

Optionally, the energy rating calculation unit 142 further uses the thermal efficiency information, such as thermal conductivity, specific heat, heat absorption rate, solar absorption rate, visible light absorption rate, etc. The energy efficiency rating of can be calculated. Since the physical property data of the components constituting the building are stored in the storage 130, the energy rating calculator 142 may automatically read the data from the storage 130.

The energy efficiency rating of a building is given based on the amount of savings based on the standard housing set by the government.If the energy saving rate is more than 33.5% compared to the standard housing, the first grade and the energy saving rate is more than 23.5% and less than 33.5% compared to the standard housing. Class 2 is classified as Class 2 when the energy saving rate is more than 13.5% and less than 23.5% compared to standard housing. In addition, as an example, when the analysis target building is a multi-family house, the energy rating calculator 142 may calculate the energy efficiency grade of the multi-family house for each household and the whole building.

If the energy efficiency rating calculated by the energy rating calculator 142 does not satisfy the target energy efficiency rating inputted by the building designer through the UI generated by the UI generator 141, the UI generator 141 receives the energy of the building. A UI for receiving input of user data that a user must input from among basic data necessary for calculation and analysis may be generated. The energy of a building means the energy to be consumed in the building.

The energy calculator 143 may analyze the energy performance of the building. That is, the energy calculating unit 143 may calculate the energy of the building generated when building the building with the current design data of the building. In particular, the energy calculator 143 may calculate the energy of the building when the energy efficiency rating calculated by the energy rating calculator 142 does not satisfy the target energy efficiency rating required by the building designer. The energy calculator 143 may use an energy plus program, which is a commercial program, to calculate energy of a building and analyze energy performance.

When the input of the user data is completed, the energy calculation unit 143 sets the basic data necessary for calculating the energy of the building in the energy plus program required for energy calculation, and calculates the energy of the building using the set basic data and the energy plus program. can do. As described above, design data, basic data, and material property data among the basic data of the building are stored in the storage unit 130, and the user data is input by the user.

The energy calculator 143 may calculate a difference between the calculated energy and the target energy if there is a difference by comparing the calculated energy with the target energy that the building should have. The target energy may be an amount of energy consumed corresponding to the target energy efficiency class.

If the calculated energy is greater than the target energy, the energy efficiency rating calculated by the energy rating calculation unit 142 is lower than the target energy efficiency rating, which means that energy should be saved. For example, the calculated energy efficiency rating may be a second grade, and the target energy efficiency rating is a first grade. Therefore, the difference calculated at this time may be an energy saving amount.

On the other hand, if the calculated energy is smaller than the target energy, it means that the energy efficiency rating calculated by the energy rating calculation unit 142 is higher than the target energy efficiency rating, so that the energy should be increased. For example, the calculated energy efficiency rating may be a first grade, and the target energy efficiency rating is a second grade. Therefore, the difference calculated at this time may be an increase in energy.

According to the amount of energy savings or the amount of energy increase, the component deriving unit 144 may derive the components that affect the energy output of the building from the reference data, respectively. That is, when the energy saving amount is calculated by the energy calculating unit 143, the component deriving unit 144 derives the components suitable for energy saving. In addition, when the amount of energy increase is calculated by the energy calculator 143, the component derivation unit 144 derives components suitable for energy increase. The component deriving unit 144 may derive the physical elements of the building from the design data of the building included in the basic data as the elements.

The energy calculator 143 may recalculate the energy of the building by changing at least one of the derived components. The energy calculator 143 may repeatedly recalculate the energy of the building by changing at least one of the components until the recalculated energy satisfies the target energy. Each time energy is recalculated, the components that change are different and can overlap. The energy calculator 143 may recalculate the energy of the building by changing at least one of a material, a size, and an arrangement position of at least one of the derived components.

Meanwhile, the energy management module 140 according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include a priority determiner 145. The priority determiner 145 may determine the priorities of the components by using at least one of the preference and the importance of each of the derived components. The process of determining the priority of each component in the priority determiner 145 is a process of inferring which one should be changed for saving or increasing energy. The preference is a ranking preferred by the architect or the building owner among the derived components, and the ranking may be input in the form of a questionnaire. Importance is a ranking derived from the experiences of various architects and is professional data.

The priority determiner 145 may determine the priority by further considering materials, sizes, and placement positions of the derived elements. For example, if the components include doors, windows, floors, roofs, the priority determiner 145 determines the priority of the doors, windows, floors and roofs, or the size of the front door, the material of the front door. After subdividing components such as size of the door, location of the door, presence or absence of kitchen door, size of living room window, double window of living room window, etc., priority can be determined. The priority determiner 145 may also suggest an actual value of each component. Table 7 shows an example of the priority determined for the components determined by the priority determiner 145 and the actual value of each component.

Priority Component One Outer wall thickness: 50mm 2 Double window in living room window: double glazing 3 Insulation Type of Living Room Wall: Styrofoam 4 Front door size: 100mm × 250mm 5 Size of living room window: 200mm × 100mm

The energy calculator 143 may recalculate the energy of the building after changing at least one component based on the priority determined by the priority determiner 145.

When the priorities are determined for the components as shown in [Table 7], the energy calculator 143 may recalculate the energy repeatedly by applying the number of all cases in which the components may be combined. For example, the energy calculation unit 143 may include '1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1 + 2, 1 + 3, 1 + 4, 1 + 5, 1 + 2 + 3, 1 + 2 + 4... , Energy can be recalculated by changing at least one component in the order of 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 '. Here, the number means priority, and means' 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1 + 2, 1 + 3, 1 + 4, 1 + 5, 1 + 2 + 3, 1 + 2 + 4... , 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 'means a combination of components corresponding to the number in all cases.

The energy calculator 143 calculates the difference between the recalculated energy and the target energy, respectively. The UI generator 141 may generate a list showing the recalculated energy and the changed at least one component according to the changed at least one component.

The generated list shows the energy recalculated according to the combination of components corresponding to the number of all cases, so the building designer can select one of the combinations of components. That is, the generated list is' 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1 + 2, 1 + 3, 1 + 4, 1 + 5, 1 + 2 + 3, 1 + 2 + 4... , The energy recalculated in the order of 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 'and at least one component corresponding to the order.

After the list is displayed on the display unit 120, the building designer selects one of the lists (eg, a component corresponding to the combination of priorities 1 and 2), and the energy rating calculator 142 selects the selected priority 1. The energy efficiency rating of the building is calculated using the modified components corresponding to and 2, and the calculated energy efficiency rating can satisfy the target energy efficiency rating.

Alternatively, when the priorities of the components are determined as shown in [Table 7], the energy calculation unit 143 changes the at least one component according to the priority to recalculate the energy, and the recalculated energy and the target energy. If the difference is less than the threshold, the process of recalculating energy can be stopped. In addition, the energy calculator 143 may output at least one component to the energy grade calculator 142 such that the difference is smaller than the threshold value. The energy rating calculator 142 calculates an energy efficiency rating of the building using the changed at least one component, and the calculated energy efficiency rating may satisfy the target energy efficiency rating.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for diagnosing and improving energy efficiency according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The processor or apparatus for performing the energy efficiency diagnosis and improvement method of FIG. 3 may be the energy efficiency diagnosis and improvement device 100 described with reference to FIG. 1.

In operation S305, the device may automatically extract physical information from previously stored design data of the building. The physical information is information related to the energy efficiency of the building, and may include an area, a size, a height, a floor thickness, a construction material, a material material, and the like of the building.

In operation S310, the device may calculate the energy efficiency rating of the building using the extracted physical information and physical property data of the components of the building. Since the physical property data of the components is pre-stored in the device, the device can automatically extract the physical property data.

In step S315, if the energy efficiency rating calculated in step S310 is not the same as the target energy efficiency rating input from the architect (S315-Y), in step S320, the device generates a UI for receiving user data and In addition, user data is input from the architect through the UI. User data is the data that the architectural designer should directly input among the basic data necessary for calculating and analyzing the energy of the building.

In operation S325, the device may automatically set basic data necessary for analyzing the energy of the building in an energy analysis program such as an energy plus program. The energy of a building means energy to be consumed in the building when the building is built according to the current design data. The basic data of the building includes design data, user data, basic data, and material property data, and is omitted because it has been described with reference to [Table 1] to [Table 6].

In operation S330, the device may calculate the energy of the building using the set basic data and the energy analysis program.

In operation S335, the device may calculate a difference between the energy of the building calculated in operation S330 and the target energy corresponding to the target energy efficiency rating. If the energy calculated in step S330 is greater than the target energy, the energy of the building should be saved, so in step S335 the device calculates the energy savings. In addition, if the energy calculated in step S330 is less than the target energy, the energy of the building should be increased, so in step S335 the device calculates the amount of energy increase. In operation S335, the energy saving amount is calculated as an example.

In operation S340, the device compares the calculated energy saving amount with a preset threshold TH. If the energy savings are greater than the threshold TH, this means that there is a lot of energy to save.

If the energy saving amount is greater than the threshold value TH (S340-Y), in step S345, the device determines whether the priority of the components is preset. The components are skin structures that affect the energy output of the building, and may include at least one of an outer wall, an inner wall, a floor, a roof, a door, and a window of the building.

If the priority of the components is not preset (S345-N), in step S350, the device may derive the components from the basic data.

In operation S355, the apparatus may determine the priority of the derived components. For example, the device may prioritize the components by using at least one of the preference and the importance for each of the derived components. In addition, the device may prioritize further considering the material, size, and placement location of each of the components.

In operation S360, the device may change at least one component based on the determined priority. For example, if the determined priority is as shown in Table 7, the device first changes the thickness of the entire outer wall of the building to 50 m.

In operation S365, the device may recalculate energy by applying the configuration data changed in operation S360 to the energy plus program.

In operation S3350, the device may calculate an energy saving amount that is a difference between the energy recalculated in step S365 and the target energy, and may repeat steps S340 to S365. The device may recalculate the energy of the building while changing at least one component until energy savings below the threshold are calculated.

If the energy saving amount is less than or equal to the threshold value TH (S340-N) by the energy of the recalculated building, in step S370, the device may recalculate the energy efficiency rating of the building. The recalculated energy efficiency rating satisfies the target energy efficiency rating. This is because the device recalculates the energy efficiency rating using the modified components such that the energy savings are below the threshold. The changed component is the result of changing the physical information extracted in step S305.

In operation S375, the device may externally output a screen showing an analysis result, that is, a screen showing the energy efficiency rating of the building recalculated in operation S370 and the components used to calculate the energy efficiency rating. The outside may be a display panel or a storage medium.

On the other hand, in step S315, if the calculated energy efficiency rating and the target energy efficiency rating are the same, the device enters step S375. That is, the device may output the screen showing the calculated energy efficiency rating to the outside together with a guide message that the current design data is suitable.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of diagnosing and improving energy efficiency according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The processor or apparatus for performing the energy efficiency diagnosis and improvement method of FIG. 4 may be the energy efficiency diagnosis and improvement device 100 described with reference to FIG. 1.

In FIG. 4, step S305 refers to step S330 of FIG. 3. Therefore, operation S400 of FIG. 4 is an operation after operation S330 of FIG. 3.

In operation S400, the device compares the energy saving amount calculated in operation S330 with a preset threshold TH.

If the energy saving amount is greater than the threshold value TH (S400-Y), in step S410, the device may derive the components from the basic data.

In operation S420, the apparatus may determine the priority of the derived components. This is the same as step S350, and description thereof will be omitted.

In operation S430, the device may change at least one component based on the determined priority.

In operation S440, the device may recalculate energy by applying the configuration data changed in operation S430 to an energy plus program, and recalculate an energy saving amount that is a difference between the recalculated energy and the target energy.

In operation S450, if the component is not changed by the number of all cases in which the components may be combined according to priority, the device may enter into operation S430. At this time, the device may change at least one other component which has not been changed previously, and repeats the steps S430 to S440 until the component is changed by all combinations.

If the components are changed by all combinations and the energy of the building is recalculated as many times as possible (S450-Y), in step S460, the device is recalculated according to each combination (ie, according to at least one modified component). It is possible to generate and display a list showing the energy of each building and each combination. The list may also include an amount of energy savings that is the difference between the recalculated energy and the target energy according to the at least one modified component.

In step S470, when the building designer selects one item displayed in the list, that is, the recalculated energy, in step S480, the device uses the at least one component mapped to the selected energy to determine the energy efficiency rating. Can be recalculated.

In operation S490, the device may externally output a screen showing at least components used to calculate an energy efficiency rating and an energy efficiency rating of the building recalculated in operation S480.

On the other hand, in step S400, if the calculated energy efficiency rating and the target energy efficiency rating are the same, the device enters step S490. That is, the device may output the screen showing the calculated energy efficiency rating to the outside together with a guide message that the current design data is suitable.
