"Accurate"(NatHERS)-Thermal Performance Assessments


Product Summary

By utilising AccuRate during building design, industry can create more energy efficient buildings and thus reduce the impact of Australia*s built environment on its natural environment.

AccuRate is the standard against which all new Australian residential building energy simulators are judged and verified.

Features

• Greatly improved natural ventilation modeling <
• Accounts for the effect of ceiling fans
• User-definable and modifiable constructions
• Extensive window library
• Improved modeling of sub-floor spaces and roof spaces
• Greatly improved skylight modeling
• Up to 50 zones can be specified, any of which can be conditioned
• Improved treatment of attached dwellings (e.g. apartments)
• The reference energy simulation tool for Australia

AccuRate is the 2nd Generation of Residential Energy Rating Software for Australia from CSIRO.

As a result of the new Building Code of Australia and the AccuRate modeling software, new residential buildings in Australia will be more energy efficient. This means, for example, a reduction in electricity consumption by new buildings compared to previous designs. With electricity production in Australia predominantly from coal burning, the reduced consumption will mean reduced emission of greenhouse gases in Australia.

You can now use AccuRate to model far more complex buildings than was possible with any first generation rating software. Unlike older generation software, you can now take advantage of up to fifty thermal zones in your building, any number of which can be conditioned. AccuRate also incorporates vastly improved natural ventilation and sky lighting models.
