Webinar: How an HVAC digital twin helps energy managers make the right choices for low energy, low carbon performance

Energy consumption, CO2 emissions and investment costs should be as low as possible in any HVAC design. At the same time, thermal comfort should be as high as possible.

How do you achieve this? And how do you measure the performance of one solution against another at the design stage to make sure your low energy, low carbon objectives will be delivered?

Our webinar on 2nd April will explain how a digital twin of your heating and cooling installation can be used to help you make the right HVAC optimisation choices for your campus or estate.

Problems with additional approaches to HVAC design

HVAC systems are typically oversized, with designs based on peak load output and additional margins for error. Plus, heating and cooling systems across university campuses, healthcare estates and other large buildings can be complex and are routinely added to and extended over time, so their true performance is unknown.

So whether you are focusing on future decarbonisation of your existing heating and cooling installations; or maybe planning the HVAC engineering of a new building, system extension or upgrade – energy managers and estates directors need to be able to understand how various HVAC system designs will perform against their energy, carbon, cost and comfort objectives.

Make the right choices by comparing performance against your KPI's

Our webinar will explain how creating a digital twin of your installation – either existing or planned new design - can be used to help you make the right choices around:

• which HVAC technologies best meet your needs;
• minimise the risk of under-performance through poor hydraulic design;
• secure long term energy savings; and
• make fact based investment decisions, based on transparency of cost, energy, carbon emissions and comfort levels.

We’ll also explain how the same digital twin can follow your project from concept through to installation and commissioning to secure the integrity of the design’s performance for the lifecycle of the installation; so as built = as designed!

Across Europe, our clients have already found using Hysopt software has helped them:

• Cut annual energy costs by 10 to 50%, with payback in 1-3 years
• Make the right choices for future decarbonisation of HVAC systems
• Reduce capex of new installations by up to 10%
• Improve comfort levels across building estates
• Use the digital twin of the heating and cooling installation for complete lifecycle management

Find out why Hysopt was chosen by CIBSE as Product/Innovation of the Year

As the only industry Awards that focus on actual, measured performance outcomes – and not just design intent or performance specifications – Hysopt is delighted that our unique design and simulation software has been recognised at the CIBSE Building Performance Awards as Product Innovation of the Year.

Case study – AZ Sint-Maarten General Hospital, Belgium

AZ Sint-Maarten is a general hospital, previously spread over three separate campuses, but recently located to a new single site, involving the construction of a new hospital.

“It’s a challenge to make the building project a success and ensure everything will work as it should,” explains Jan Claesen, Technical Director. “The energy aspect is a very important part of this, with all the various installations needing to be properly aligned.”

By creating a digital twin using Hysopt software, Claesen’s team were quickly able to establish that the design proposed by consulting engineers could be further optimised for improved performance and lower capital investment cost. Specifically, this allowed the CHP plant to work for longer in the mid-seasons, and ultimately deliver substantial energy cost reductions.

“All of the system components have been selected specifically to match our situation, so our fluids and associated thermal comfort will be optimised. And we can easily develop the building and optimise the installations further if we want to expand the hospital at a later date, which is something that’s always happening in hospitals.”
