Overheating Analysis – CIBSE TM52
CGC use Dynamc Simulation Modelling with IES-VE to produce industry leading Overheating Analyses for new non-dwellings under CIBSE TM52, an adaptive methodology to help predict the risk of overheating
The problem
The problem of overheating in commercial buildings is a signifcant and growing issue which, with increasing summer temperatures and better insulated building designs, coupled with a growing desire for high levels of glazing, and lower air permiability, can cause significant internal comfort issues.
This will have knock on effects on the resultant HVAC systems – the requirement for space cooling, and therefore higher energy use and it’s associated additional costs and greater carbon emmissions.
The Solution
CIBSE (Charterd Institute of Building Services Engineers) has developed a design stage methodology that assess the predicted level of thermal comfor within commercial buildings.
The CIBSE TM52 methodology sets three critia for complaince to refect the relative risk of overheating in occupied internal rooms:
(1) Hours of Exceedance,
(2) Daily Weighted Exceedance,
(3) Upper Limit Temperature. Failure to comply with two or more of these is regarded as a fail. A failure means that the proposed building is seen as carrying an unacceptable risk of overheating.
Our consultants will not only deliver the detailed Overheating Analysis reports required , but also ensure consultation to ensure compliance is achieved.
