For example, it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection, or it can be the internal connection between two components. It can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides an embodiment of an intelligent energy-saving analysis method for building thermal performance based on BIM.

[0056] Project initiation and demand analysis: Establish a project team and assign roles, including BIM modelers, energy analysts, software engineers, etc. Conduct demand analysis to determine project goals, schedules, and budgets. The demand analysis cycle is expected to be 1 week.

[0057] After project initiation and requirements analysis are completed, perform the following steps:

[0058] The 3D laser scanning technology is used to collect on-site data of the building, and the photogrammetry technology is used to collect the texture and color information of the building surface to enhance the realism and visual effect of the model. In this embodiment, a high-precision laser scanner is used to perform a full-scale scan of the existing building, collect point cloud data, including the precise geometric data of the building, including information such as size, shape and spatial layout. The scanning process includes internal and external structures to ensure that comprehensive data is obtained. It is expected to take 2 days. The building appearance image is obtained by drone photogrammetry to obtain the texture and color information of the building surface, which is expected to take 1 day.

[0059] Preliminary construction of BIM model: Based on the collected point cloud data, including the geometric shapes, spatial layout and appearance images of components such as walls, roofs, floors, windows, etc., a detailed three-dimensional BIM model is constructed in the BIM software to obtain a preliminary building model. The estimated preliminary modeling cycle is 2 weeks. The accuracy of the preliminary building model is verified to ensure consistency with the on-site data. The preliminary building model contains detailed information such as the building geometry, material properties, and component connection relationships. Through the parametric function of the BIM software, the building model can be dynamically updated to adapt to design changes and material replacements.

[0060] Input the material properties of building components in the BIM model, such as thermal conductivity, density, specific heat capacity, etc. These parameters are the basis for thermal performance simulation, and are crucial for subsequent thermal conduction, thermal bridge effect and solar heat gain simulation, and can provide basic data for subsequent thermal performance analysis. For example: the thermal conductivity of the wall material λ = 0.6W / m·K, and the expected input cycle is 1 week. The U value input for the building exterior window is 1.8W / m2·K, which is determined based on the characteristics of double-layer insulating glass.

[0061] Set environmental parameters and simulation conditions: According to the climate data of the building location, set the simulation conditions, including an annual average temperature of 15°C, humidity of 65%, wind speed of 2.5m / s, and solar radiation of 1100W / m2. The estimated condition setting period is 1 week.

[0062] Thermal performance simulation: Integrate the thermal performance parameters of the building envelope into the BIM model, including but not limited to thermal conductivity, heat capacity, thermal resistance, etc., to provide key input for thermal performance simulation and simulate the temperature changes of the building in a typical summer and winter day. The simulation cycle is expected to be 3 weeks.

[0063] For complex building components, such as double-glazed windows and composite walls, detailed thermal performance analysis is performed to ensure the accuracy of the BIM model and the reliability of the simulation results.

[0064] The database function of BIM software is used to store and manage thermal performance parameters, which facilitates parameter query, update and maintenance.

[0065] This embodiment adopts a comprehensive thermal performance simulation algorithm, which specifically includes the following aspects:

[0066] Heat conduction simulation algorithm based on finite element analysis (FEA): This algorithm establishes a mathematical model of heat conduction by discretizing building components into a finite number of elements and nodes. The material property data in the BIM model, such as thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, etc., are used to provide the necessary input parameters for FEA. The algorithm can accurately calculate the heat transfer path and temperature distribution under different materials and structural configurations. The expected result is to generate a detailed heat conduction report, including heat loss, thermal bridge effect, and internal temperature field distribution.

[0067] Thermal bridge effect simulation: Thermal bridge effect refers to the local heat flow concentration phenomenon caused by the difference in thermal resistance at the junction of building components with different materials or different thicknesses. The simulation algorithm needs to take these factors into account to evaluate the impact of thermal bridges on the overall heat loss of the building.

[0068] Thermal bridge effect simulation algorithm combining building information modeling and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology: This algorithm integrates the three-dimensional geometric information of the BIM model and is used to set the calculation domain of the CFD simulation. The air flow, temperature distribution and humidity changes inside the building are simulated through CFD technology, taking into account the effects of natural ventilation and mechanical ventilation. The algorithm can evaluate the impact of different ventilation strategies on the indoor thermal environment and provide suggestions for optimizing the design of the ventilation system for building design. The expected result is to provide an indoor thermal comfort analysis report, including air flow rate, temperature distribution and humidity level.

[0069] Solar heat gain simulation algorithm using solar radiation model and geographic information system (GIS) data: This algorithm combines solar radiation model to calculate the impact of solar radiation on the building based on the building's geographical location, orientation and seasonal changes. GIS data, including terrain, building shading and climate conditions, are used to adjust the input parameters of the solar radiation model to improve the accuracy of the simulation. The algorithm can evaluate the efficiency of the building's use of solar energy, including the potential for solar heating, natural lighting and solar power generation. The expected result is to generate a solar utilization analysis report to provide solar integration solutions for building design, such as solar panel layout and window design.

[0070] Through the combined use of these three simulation algorithms, the intelligent energy-saving analysis method of the present invention can comprehensively evaluate the thermal performance of a building, provide scientific decision-making support for building design and operation, and achieve optimization and improvement of building energy efficiency.

[0071] The expected simulation results show that the maximum temperature inside the building will not exceed 28°C and the minimum temperature will not be lower than 18°C.

It is expected that through optimization measures, the building energy consumption will be reduced by 15%.

[0073] The energy-saving optimization strategy includes:
