FREDS Building Energy Advisor

建筑是我们社会中最大的碳排放源之一，建筑行业是旨在实现净零目标的所有战略的重点，在国内和国际上。为了实现向零净建筑的过渡，已经设计了大量的方法和技术解决方案，包括计算机辅助建筑能源模拟（BEM）；然而，由于实施这些技术所需的资源与小型建筑项目的开发人员和设计师的能力不一致，这些技术很少被采用，通常仅限于最雄心勃勃的项目，这在行业中显然存在差距。FREDS是一个在线平台，它提供了一个快速和简单的方法来执行建筑能源性能模拟，以协助在早期设计阶段选择适当的建筑组件和系统。此外，业界专业人士及市民可借此计算其楼宇的二氧化碳排放量，并测试节能措施对现有及新建楼宇的影响，以协助提高楼宇的能源效益及达致“净零排放”目标。FREDS平台已经由主要申请人（FREDS4BUILDING）与布莱顿大学合作，部分开发到原型阶段（估计TRL 5），当前原型的在线版本可以在[https://www.freds4buildings.com/][0].The]找到，拟议的项目旨在进一步将现有原型开发成一个功能齐全的平台（预计TRL 7），包括HVAC模拟和二氧化碳当量计算的功能。为业界专业人士提供所有必要的工具，以有效地设计更具能源效益的楼宇。FREDS不仅将为行业提供所需的工具来量化建筑物对环境的影响，并比较不同的设计解决方案，以确定减少温室气体排放的最佳设计，而且还将为行业专业人士提供一个易于使用的在线服务，绕过将建筑能源模拟集成到设计过程中的现有障碍，即需要昂贵的许可证，从而实现这一目标。深入的专业知识和大量的时间投入是行业标准无法接受的。这将最终为子孙后代创造一个更健康、污染更少的环境。[0]: https://www.freds4buildings.com/

Buildings are one of the largest sources of carbon emissions in our society, and the construction sector is a key focus on all strategies aimed at achieving Net-Zero targets, nationally and internationally. Ample methodologies and technological solutions have been devised in order to allow such transition toward Net-Zero buildings, including computer aided Building Energy Simulation (BEM); however, a gap clearly exists within industry where such technologies are rarely adopted and often limited to the most ambitious projects only, due to the resources required to implement them, that do not align with the capacity of developers and designers for smaller construction projects.FREDS is an online platform that provides a fast and simple way to perform building energy performance simulations, to assist with the selection of appropriate building components and systems during the early design stages. Furthermore it will allow industry professionals and the general public to calculate CO2e emissions of their buildings and test the impact of energy efficiency measures both on existing and new buildings, to support the improvement of energy efficiency in buildings and the achievement of Net- Zero targets.The FREDS platform has already been partially developed to a prototype stage (estimated TRL 5) by the lead applicant (FREDS4BUILDING) in collaboration with the University of Brighton, and an online version of the current prototype can be found at [https://www.freds4buildings.com/][0].The proposed project aims at further developing the existing prototype into a fully featured platform (expected TRL 7) including capabilities as HVAC simulation and CO2e calculations, to provide all necessary tools to industry professionals to effectively design more energy efficient buildings.FREDS will not only give the industry the required tools to quantify the environmental impact of buildings, and compare different design solution in order to identify the best design to reduce GHG emissions, but will do so by providing industry professionals with an easy to use online service that bypasses the existing barriers toward integration of building energy simulation into the design process, namely the need for expensive licences, in-depth expertise and significant time commitment that are unacceptable by industry standards. This will ultimately result in a healthier and less polluted environment for the generations to come.[0]: https://www.freds4buildings.com/
