EDS® Passive Design
Low Energy, Low Impact, Sustainable Design
The process of Passive Design sets out to reduce or eliminate the requirement for mechanical heating, ventilation & air-conditioning (HVAC) systems.
During the early stages of design EDS® will assist the architect in achieving a passive design and determine potential savings around design proposals.
The balance of maximising daylight to occupied zones while prohibiting solar gains will also help to reduce electrical lighting & cooling demands, promoting a comfortable working/living space.
Climate and other environmental conditions such as rainwater availability, prevailing wind directions, solar radiation, and night cooling will be used to condition the internal environment.
The biggest savings may be realised by the implementation of Natural Ventilation (NV) early in the design process. EDS® NV successfully eliminates the requirement for air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation on many large and medium sized buildings using carefully calculated implementation of natural ventilation techniques; supported by computational fluid dynamic (CFD) calculation methods.
EDS® Thermal Simulation
Modelling Cause & Effect
Computer simulation can be used to establish benefits or limitations in advance of changes to design proposals; or changes to the existing built environment. The calculation methods that are typically adopted include:
- Steady State Calculations- Dynamic Thermal Simulation
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
