buem 0.1.1

Building energy model for analysis of hourly thermal load(ISO 52019-1:2017, 5R1C)

BUEM: Building Thermal Model

BUEM is a Python module for simulating building thermal behavior using the ISO 52016-1:2017 5R1C model.
It supports solar gains, detailed heat load calculations, and the possibility to solve inequalities related to temperature ranges and other bounded conditions.

Features

• 5R1C thermal model (ISO 52016-1)
• Refurbishment and insulation options
• Solar and internal gains
• Heating and cooling load calculation
• Plotting of results

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/somadsahoo/buem.git
   cd buem
   

2. Create and activate the conda environment:

   conda env create -f environment.yml
   conda activate buem_env
   

3. Install the BUEM module in editable mode:

   pip install -e .
   

Conda install (for advanced users)

To build and install with conda:

   conda install conda-build
   conda build .
   conda install --use-local buem

Usage

Run the example (with dummy data) from the command line:

python -m src.buem.thermal.modelbuem

Or import the ModelBUEM class in your own scripts:

from buem.thermal.model_buem import ModelBUEM
