Structural analysis of a buidling using Robot Structural Analysis
A1 HVAC systems are responsible for the heat, airflow, ventilation and air conditioning of the building. these machines are not visible directly but their effects are felt as soon as you enter the building.
They are essential in the modeling of building because -
they control the climate and make changes to the temperature accordingly
during winter, they work to keep the inetrnal temp warmer
during summer, they provide necessary cooling
in better conditions provided in office, peple feeel motiated to work harder. which is why HVAC systems are provided
no one will enjoy working in a building where the temperature is not appropriately regulated
They are a worthy investement for any building.
A4 structural analysis is the process of calculating forces, deflections to whch the members are subjected. sophisticated analysis tools continue to make the load calculation and correction work to the building easier and efficient.
to perform the accurate analysis, structural engineer must have info about geometry, support conditions and loads which the building will bear. The loads are calculated and compared to the criteria for failure. advanced structural analysis may undrtake dynamic response, stability and non linear behaviour. there are three approaches to analysis - the mechanics of materials, elasticity theory approach, finite elements approach. first two make use of analytical formulations.
A6 energy analysis is crucial to know that we are working towards the most efficient building. this info can help the designers make better, cost effective decisions that improve the performance of building. whole building enrgy simulation measures expected energy use based on the bldngs geometry.
sustainable design deals with the philosophy of having built and designed objects buildings environments and services that conforms with the many principles of ecological sustainability. includes maintaining charge in homeostatic environment. ways to approach sustainable design include utilizing sustainavble chemical engineering , resource management and environmental protection.
