FREDS Building Energy Advisor

建筑物是我们社会中最大的碳排放源之一，建筑行业是旨在实现国内和国际净零目标的所有战略的重点。为了实现向净零建筑的过渡，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耗模拟;然而，工业界显然存在着一个差距，由于实施这些技术所需的资源，这些技术很少被采用，而且往往仅限于最雄心勃勃的项目，FREDS是一个在线平台，提供了一种快速简单的方法来执行建筑物能源性能模拟，协助在早期设计阶段选择合适的建筑构件和系统。此外，它还将使行业专业人士和公众能够计算其建筑物的二氧化碳排放量，并测试节能措施对现有和新建筑物的影响。以支持改善建筑物的能源效益和实现净零目标。FREDS平台已部分开发到原型阶段（估计TRL 5）（FREDS 4 BUILDING）与布莱顿大学合作，当前原型的在线版本可以在[https：//www.freds4buildings.com/][0].拟议的项目旨在进一步发展现有的原型，使之成为一个功能齐全的平台（预期TRL 7）包括HVAC模拟和CO2 e计算功能，，为业界专业人士提供所有必需的工具，以有效地设计更具能源效益的建筑物。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，但将通过为行业专业人员提供易于使用的在线服务来实现，该服务绕过了将建筑物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，深入的专业知识和大量的时间承诺，这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/网站

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/
