face="Times New Roman">This seminar shall show how simulation packages that are
built using equation-based solvers can benefit the building energy community.
Such software packages typically separate the formulation of a model’s
underlying physics from its numerical solution algorithms. This allows
input-output free modeling, which facilitates model reuse and the selection of
the numerical solution algorithm that is best suited for the problem at hand.
Equation-based simulation packages are frequently used in various industrial
sectors. In building energy simulation, however, they have not yet enjoyed
wide-spread use. Based on a technology assessment and case-studies, this seminar
shall stimulate discussions to understand their applicability, advantages and
limitations for the building energy community.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></P>
