Assessing the energy performance of multi-usage buildings requires the development of new design approaches and operating strategies. As new building usages emerge, there is a need to study the design requirements and possible interactions with a variety of other building spaces. For instance, there is a rising interest to develop solutions to integrate agricultural spaces to buildings, either to improve the indoor environment or to provide locally grown food. In both cases, the complex interaction of plants with the building indoor environment is often neglected, but is important and influences the design and operation of buildings. To ensure proper integration of agricultural spaces to buildings the following objectives are proposed: (1) to model plants to estimate their impact on the building indoor environment, (2) to develop a methodology to size their heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, and (3) to evaluate the possible synergies of the agricultural spaces with the other building spaces (loads and HVAC systems). To estimate the impact of plants on the building indoor environment, available plant growth models will be evaluated and adapted for their integration to building performance simulation tools. The impact of plants on the indoor environment conditions (temperature, humidity, and CO2) will be assessed numerically for various cultivated densities and for different plant species. The estimated impact will also be verified using a controlled environment agriculture test bench and measured data from existing installations. For the development of a methodology to size the HVAC equipment, two different aspects will be addressed. The first is a detailed analysis of plant model parameters and their impact on sensible and latent loads and the second is the evaluation of different HVAC equipment to maintain the indoor environment conditions. Finally, the interaction of the integrated agricultural spaces with other building spaces (loads and HVAC systems) will be studied using building performance simulations. This will provide the basis for the design of more energy performant multi-usage buildings. The results will lead to a better understanding of the impacts of plants on buildings and provide new approaches for the design and sizing of the HVAC equipment required to maintain indoor conditions. It will also assess the impact of plants on the overall building energy performance and provide guidelines for their seamless integration.

评估多通用建筑物的能源性能需要开发新的设计方法和操作策略。随着新的建筑物使用的出现，有必要研究设计要求以及与其他各种建筑空间的可能交互。例如，开发解决方案以将农业空间整合到建筑物上，以改善室内环境或提供当地种植的食物的兴趣上升。在这两种情况下，植物与建筑物室内环境的复杂相互作用经常被忽略，但很重要，并且会影响建筑物的设计和操作。为了确保将农业空间正确整合到建筑物上，提出了以下目标：（1）建模工厂以估计其对建筑物室内环境的影响，（2）开发一种方法来规模供暖，通风和空调（HVAC）设备（HVAC）设备，以及（3）以评估与其他建筑空间的可能协同（3）（3）（3）（3）。为了估计植物对建筑物室内环境的影响，将评估并适应可用的植物生长模型，以集成建筑性能模拟工具。植物对室内环境条件（温度，湿度和CO2）的影响将用于各种培养的密度和不同植物物种的数值评估。估计的影响还将使用受控环境农业测试工作台进行验证，并从现有安装中进行了测量的数据。为了开发尺寸尺寸HVAC设备的方法，将解决两个不同的方面。首先是对植物模型参数的详细分析及其对明智和潜在负载的影响，第二个是评估不同HVAC设备以维持室内环境条件。最后，将使用建筑绩效模拟研究集成的农业空间与其他建筑空间（负载和HVAC系统）的相互作用。这将为设计更多能源性能多通用建筑的设计提供基础。 结果将使人们更好地了解植物对建筑物的影响，并为维持室内条件所需的HVAC设备的设计和规模提供新的方法。它还将评估植物对整体建筑能源绩效的影响，并为其无缝整合提供指南。
