We have decided that we will not work on thermal comfort analysis of DANSASOL-zero
energy house, rather we will work on energy efficiency and thermal analysis of passive
house.

W O R K D O N E T H I S W E E K

I have researched about different aspects of improving energy efficiency of passive

house through numerical simulation. I have researched on dynamic thermal building
simulation of evaluating energy performance of building as an effective tool in order to
carry out the thermal analysis of an existing building by improving its thermal behavior,
thus performing a sustainable refurbishment.

The dynamic building simulations will be done to determine the thermal performance of
the building by TRNSYS simulations in order to conduct analysis on the influence of
building shell parameters to the heating and cooling demands, thus, the improvement
of the passive building energy efficiency.
