IDA INDOOR CLIMATE AND ENERGY APPLICATION

IDA Indoor Climate and Energy (ICE) is a recently developed tool for simulation of thermal comfort, indoor air quality and energy consumption in buildings. It covers a range of advanced phenomena such as integrated airflow and thermal models, CO2 modeling, and vertical temperature gradients. It has a multi-level user interface to accommodate different types of users. It is primarily intended for HVAC designers and architects, but is also appreciated by educators and researchers. In this paper the advantages of the modern simulation tool are shown in prediction of indoor climate.
