COLLABORATIVE COOLING LOAD ANALYSIS SOFTWARE FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ON ENERGY CONSERVATION
This article is part of a research on developing cooling load analysis software for energy conservation. This research focuses on developing the system of Collaborative Design and Public Participation System which allows property owners, architects, engineers as well as others outside the field, to contribute to design process based on the concept of energy conservation within the collaborative virtual environment. The combination of the two ideas between collaborative virtual environment and analysis engine of cooling load calculation changes the traditional working processes in which architects and engineers work separately. From the traditional process where both architects and engineer redevelop the whole project from the beginning when redesigning is in need, this new collaborative process requires less time and energy from both parties due to the simultaneous participation of architects, engineers as well as other contributors. In this research, Microsoft Direct3D-API based Virtools is used to develop Real-Time Simulation and its internal script in the calculation process. Through the implementation process, the study aims to develop the 3 components of (1) urban area database illustrating simulating maps for users (2) Graphic User Interface (GUI) connected to other software modules for further expansion and (3) Virtual Network Environment allowing multiple users to log in and use the programme at the same period of time.
