Building energy performance simulation model for a nearly zero-energy nursing home in Belgium

A building energy performance simulation model for a nearly zero-energy nursing home in Kain, Belgium, is developed using DesignBuilder and EnergyPlus. The building is located in Kain (50°38'12.04"N, 3°22'50.47"E, 193m), part of the city of Tournai in Belgium, which has a mild oceanic climate. The total area is 8000 m². This building includes 114 rooms on the first and second floors, while most services are distributed on the ground floor. The building's heating and cooling system is based on air-water heat pumps. Four heat pumps are installed on the roof of the building working in pairs in series. These pumps are powered by a Toyota internal combustion gas engine with an output of 80 kW.

本研究采用DesignBuilder与EnergyPlus软件，开发了比利时凯恩（Kain）地区一所近零能耗养老院的建筑能耗性能模拟模型。该建筑坐落于比利时图尔奈（Tournai）市下辖的凯恩片区，地理坐标为北纬50°38'12.04''、东经3°22'50.47''，海拔193米，当地属于温和海洋性气候。建筑总建筑面积达8000平方米，一、二层共设有114间客房，绝大多数配套服务功能区域集中于首层。该建筑的采暖与制冷系统采用空气-水热泵方案，屋顶共安装4台热泵机组，采用成对串联运行模式，所有热泵均由额定功率80kW的丰田内燃燃气发动机驱动。
