DibsComuptingCore

Dynamic ISO Building Simulator (DIBS) is a simulation program for calculating the space heating, occupancy hot water, cooling and electricity demand of German non-residential buildings. Further the DIBS calculates the heating value based energy uses, the primary energy and the greenhouse gas emission based on the defined factors of the German building energy ordinance (Gebäudeenergiegesetz). The adapted hourly dynamic building energy simulator for single buildings and building stocks is ready to use with ENOB:dataNWG interview and on-site inspection data. The underlying resistance-capacity-model is based on the simplified hourly method of ISO 13790:2008. DIBS is based on the RC_BuildingSimulator and represents an extension of capabilities and adaptation to the requirements of the ENOB:dataNWG project.

Getting Started

Python packages you need to use DIBS:

• >= Python 3.10.0

Installation

To install the package, use the following command:

pip install dibs_computing_core==1.0.0

Further information

For a detailed installation guide and further information on DIBS see the wiki
