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.

本研究基于DesignBuilder与EnergyPlus两款软件，构建了比利时凯恩（Kain）地区一所近零能耗养老院的建筑能耗性能模拟模型。该建筑位于比利时图尔奈（Tournai）市下辖的凯恩区域，地理坐标为北纬50°38′12.04″、东经3°22′50.47″，海拔193米，当地属温和海洋性气候。建筑总建筑面积达8000平方米，其中二层与三层共设有114间客房，多数功能服务区布局于首层。该建筑的供热与制冷系统采用空气-水热泵方案，屋顶共安装4台热泵，以两两串联的方式运行，整套热泵系统由一台额定输出功率80千瓦的丰田内燃燃气发动机提供动力。
