Multi-zone simulation results of Europoint complex for self-sufficiency in energy consumption and food production in Rotterdam

The research focuses on optimising different zones of the Europoint complex in Rotterdam to achieve self-sufficiency in energy consumption and food production. For this reason, three buildings of the complex are parametrised in Grasshopper 3d Algorithmic Modelling Environment. The parametric models include various design variables related to the number of farming floors, shape, and the properties of the façade design with shading devices. Residential parts of the towers are divided into 3 subdivisions (building zones) to identify the best parameter sets for various floor levels considering the density of the surrounding. In each building zone, 1 floor level is considered to conduct the simulation results that corresponds to data collection from 9 different floor levels of the Europoint complex. Latin Hypercube Sampling method is used with Honeybee and Ladybug plug-ins developed for environmental analysis in Grasshopper during the sampling process. The collected data presents the results for residential energy consumption including heating, lighting, and equipment loads, energy generation of the towers, and daylight factor for each orientation in each zone. Detailed explanations of the design parameters, performance aspects, and glazing types are given in below. The published data can be used for sensitivity analysis, surrogate modelling, and statistical analysis for energy and daylight related works on Europoint complex in Rotterdam.

本研究聚焦于优化鹿特丹欧洲点（Europoint）综合体的不同区域，以实现能源消耗与食品生产的自给自足。为此，该综合体中的三栋建筑在Grasshopper 3D算法建模环境中完成参数化建模。该参数化模型包含多项与养殖楼层数量、建筑造型以及搭载遮阳装置的外立面设计属性相关的设计变量。塔楼的住宅区域被划分为3个分区（建筑区域），以便结合周边环境密度，为不同楼层筛选最优参数组合。在每个建筑区域中，选取1个楼层开展模拟，最终得到对应鹿特丹欧洲点综合体9个不同楼层的数据采集结果。采样过程中，借助为Grasshopper环境下的环境分析开发的Honeybee与Ladybug插件，采用拉丁超立方抽样（Latin Hypercube Sampling）方法。本次采集的数据涵盖住宅能源消耗（包括采暖、照明与设备负荷）、塔楼的能源发电量，以及各区域各朝向的采光系数（daylight factor）。下文将对设计参数、性能指标以及玻璃类型展开详细说明。本公开数据集可用于鹿特丹欧洲点综合体相关能源与采光研究中的敏感性分析、代理建模（surrogate modelling）与统计分析。
