( April 2018) IDA Indoor Climate and Energy (IDA ICE) is a (BPS) software. IDA ICE is a simulation application for the multi-zonal and dynamic study of indoor climate phenomenas as well as energy use. The implemented models are, many studies show that simulation results and measured data compare well.
IDA Indoor Climate and EnergyInitial release1998. 4.8Written inNMF, ModelicaWindowsAvailable inEnglish, German, French, Swedish, FinnishWebsiteUser interface The user interface of IDA ICE makes it easy to create simple cases but also offers the flexibility to go into detail of advanced studies. Many inputs are adaptable to local requirements such as climate data, material data, system components or result reports.
IDA ICE provides a environment for geometry modeling, the table-based input of boundary conditions provide good visual feedback and enables efficient quality check. A simple procedure for calculating and reporting cooling, heating, air demand, and energy, together with a built-in version handling system, makes it efficient to compare different systems and results.Advanced daylight calculation are achieved by interfacing the lighting simulation tool with result visualization in the 3D environment. A module for Appendix G of -2010 is available, this is used for example in. The integrated with single reflexion and one measuring point can be used for whole-year daylight analysis and allows modeling daylight-based control strategies (e.g.
Shading devices, artificial lightening).There is also the 'Early Stage Building Optimization' (ESBO) user interface which makes it possible for users to experiment with variations in both buildings and systems at an early stage with a minimum of user input. A full range of component models for studies is available, with boreholes, stratified tanks, heat pumps, solar collectors, etc.An interface with for detailed studies is in development.Strengths IDA ICE can be used for complete energy and design studies, involving the envelope, systems, plant and control strategies. The equation-based approach enables solving more complex mathematical problems than software using. The IDA ICE model library is, the model equations can be viewed and adapted, every variable in the whole system can be logged. The flexible architecture of the software makes it easy to develop the software continuously to adapt it to local requirements and languages, and to expand it with new capabilities.
May 27, 2016 - Furthermore, the climate envelope of the building was modified with. Validation of IDA Indoor Climate and Energy 4.0 build 4 with respect to. IDA Indoor Climate and Energy 4.2 and higher conformance to BREEAM Global and ASHRAE 90.1-2007 G2.2.1, G2.2.2, G2.2.3, G2.3 and G2.4 This is to certify that IDA ICE v. 4.2 and higher conforms to the following requirements. Screen capture images from the program and its documentation are provided as supporting evidence.
Additional features like parametric simulation runs and support decision making in a process. The coupling with optimization engines like is available directly in the program.The big advantage compared to other BPS software is the coupled simulation of building envelope, systems and controls. IDA ICE library components are either written in the (NMF). The software is fully scriptable with.
The IDA general purpose solver comes with a variable timestep, which guarantees that no event in the system will be missed.Input IDA ICE supports models generated by tools such as, MagiCAD, and others. Geometry an shading on site can also be imported from, or other geometry tools. Solar influx is evaluated through windows (also internal) with full 3D accounting for the local shading situation. Additionally it has an integrated geometry editor where building and zone geometry can be modeled with 2D architectural drawings or pictures serving as template.Climate files like EnergyPlus weather files (EPW) or ASHRAE climate files, can be downloaded and installed. The table-based input structure allows full interoperability with and comparable software.
Modern features like and combined with visual input data check make input data management easier.Output IDA ICE output include tables, charts, reports and plots. 3D visualizations (both stills and animations) show geometry, solar shadings, color coded input data as well as results. Arrow animations in 3D visualize ventilation air flows, window energy balance, and wind driven flows. There are special reports for submittal forms included.

The diagram plots deliver which allows detailed result analysis in custom reports. Results can be exported to or Excel.
