Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional simulation methods are used for indoor environments, then the simulation process is simple, but the accuracy of environment simulation is insufficient because ventilation and humidification influences are not considered
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary acquisition of ventilation data (number of ventilations per hour) and humidification data (amount of humidification per hour) before executing the simulation. This preliminary preparation allows the simulation to incorporate these critical environmental factors without adding excessive complexity during the actual simulation process, thereby improving accuracy while maintaining manageable process complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The simulation process is segmented into distinct modules: one for handling ventilation parameters, another for humidification parameters, and a third for environmental simulation execution. This segmentation allows each aspect (ventilation, humidification) to be processed independently and then integrated, improving overall simulation accuracy without creating an unmanageably complex monolithic process
2Measurement precision
If detailed information on ventilation and humidification is acquired and incorporated into the simulation model, then the accuracy of environment estimation is improved, but the complexity of data acquisition and processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and separates the acquisition of ventilation information and humidification information from the general data acquisition process. By taking out these specific parameters as distinct data collection tasks, the system can focus on obtaining critical environmental data without being overwhelmed by the complexity of acquiring and processing all possible building parameters, thus improving estimation accuracy while managing data acquisition complexity
3Reliability
If a comprehensive simulation model including ventilation and humidification is generated, then the reliability of environment simulation is improved, but the computational resources and time required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameters fed into the simulation model by incorporating specific ventilation parameters (number of ventilations per hour) and humidification parameters (amount of humidification per hour). By transforming real-world operational data into these specific model parameters, the simulation achieves higher reliability in predicting indoor environmental conditions without requiring excessively complex computational models or prolonged execution times
