energy performance analysis of adnan menderes international airport

Assumptions
The assumptions are made for the simulation referring either measurements or
ASHRAE standards.
1. Building is put together by assembling blocks. Block creation and edit
operations take place at the building level. ADM Building is divided into 4 blocks to
simplify modeling of the building. Figure 3.9 shows blocks and modeling of the
building by DesignBuilder.
2. Blocks are not subdivided into more than one zone by drawing partitions.
There is not any partitioning takes place at the block level. The geometry information
was collected from the scanned architecture drawings in AutoCAD.
Figure 3.9. Blocks of Storey of ADM Building Modeled in DesignBuilder.
3. Data templates are the source of default data in DesignBuilder. They are used
for loading data to the model en masse. It is loaded the Airport template at the building
levels as shown in Table 3.2.
