Energy Consumption Analysis on the NetBeans Platform
URSUS is a NetBeans Platform application for bioclimatic design and energy consumption optimization in town planning. URSUS lets the designer create a residential area composed of a perimeter, plots, streets, and buildings. The streets divide the perimeter surface into different plots where the user can drag and drop buildings.
The program calculates heating and refrigeration demands in different ways, while taking account of factors such as shade, enclosure characteristics, and solar gains. The designer estimates how to distribute the different elements in the best way in order to reduce energy consumption.
The application is being developed by GEE (Grupo de energía y edificiación) at the Universidad de Zaragoza in Spain.
