Computer applications in the design of energy-conscious buildings
The objectives of this opening paper are threefold: to outline the present state-of-the-art in building and systems simulation; in this way to provide a framework within which the following nine papers can be placed; and to suggest future development possibilities which might continue the move towards a realization of the undoubted potential of computer-based energy modelling. Internationally the energy picture is a complex and changing one. In the UK for example there has been a steady increase in the total consumption of primary fuels up to 1973, the year of the oil embargo. Since then it has become universally accepted that pre-1973 consumption levels were profligate and so the post-1973 years have seen the UK and other major consumers become more energy conscious: the UK present consumption rate being not significantly different from the 1970 level. Comparisons internationally reveal that the consumption levels of the high consumers increase less rapidly than the low consumers. The tendency therefore is for the latter, as they develop, to approach the consumption level of the former.
