2018 - Ownership of the tool and stewardship of the collected data was novated to Sustainable Buildings Canada (SBC).The IESO funding enabled the development of a user interface, governance structure, as well as an adoption campaign. 2017 - A collaborative led by RWDI with support from the OAA and Toronto's 2030 District were awarded the Independent Electricity System Operator's (IESO) conservation fund.The TAF funding enabled the development of scripts that automate the harvesting of data from energy simulations, one of Compass's key innovations. 2016 - The Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) in partnership with RWDI was awarded concept development funding from The Atmospheric Fund (TAF).The "architect + engineer" collaborative resulted in many interesting visual representations of building energy use, several of which provided inspiration for the Compass Explore tools. 2013 - Diamond Schmitt Architects and RWDI worked collaboratively to develop ecoMetrics, a live interactive database that unpacks building energy simulation models for a growing portfolio of Diamond Schmitt projects.
#Ies ve model building code
The automated extraction code and database structure was developed by RWDI Inc., with generous support from The Atmospheric Fund and the Independent Electricity System Operator. The TeamĬompass is owned and operated by Sustainable Buildings Canada, and governed in part by our Advisory Committee. Compass aims to put that data to use to help inform future building design. Once the models are checked for compliance, the data inside of them will never be used again. Most new buildings in Ontario will need an energy model to prove compliance with one, or several, programs and/or regulations. Users can use this data to generate draft program submission documents, to check models against a database of like-buildings, or just to explore the proposed building stock of Ontario. What Does Compass Do?Ĭompass automatically extracts up to 400 building and performance characteristics from each project that is uploaded. By providing market-wide benchmarking analytics, this tool will enhance the quality of modelled energy performance, improve the energy literacy of the design community, improve conservation program delivery, and ultimately reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from every proposed building development in Ontario. R2M, thanks to the well-established relation with Politecnico of Milano, provides lessons to the Master Pesenti school on the energy dynamic simulation.Īs Italian exclusive resellers, R2M is always connected to all its clients, managing the licenses, technical offers and being always the reference for any local request or support.The Compass project endeavors to create a streamlined energy benchmarking and reporting tool for new construction projects at the design stage. R2M organizes regularly training courses on IESVE with quality mark of GBC Italia and offering specific training to companies. Training helps professionals approaching building simulation modelling, spreading knowledge and the methodology with IESVE. heat transfer calculations, for example to optimise thermal storesĮnergy modelling, to test strategies and demonstrate compliance.daylight calculations, including accurate rendered images of the building.ventilation studies, using dynamic thermal simulation and CFD.This allows them to design engineering systems which complement the building.Our capabilities include: All our experts have a sound understanding of building physics. It is the study of how heat, air, moisture and light move through a building. R2M Solution and IES have been collaborating in many R&D H2020 projects.īuilding physics explains how buildings work.
