PROJECT STASIO

Project STASIO is one of the projects undertaken by the Architectural Simulations subcommittee aimed to provide supporting content for the new ASHRAE Standard 209 - Energy Simulation Aided Design for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings. This project strives to provide guidance on how to effectively apply building energy modeling at an energy design stage for effective communication of simulation inputs and outputs between the designer and the energy analyst. This subcommittee comprises of members with diverse expertise including architectural design, building energy simulation and software development... A schematic topology of how a single simulation category can be broken down into a series of subcategories, investigation questions, standards, and insights. We're working on filling this out across all the major categories of simulation... The hope is to create a diverse library of different types of outputs where the simulation community can learn from data..
