Simulation & Performance Tools
This section covers all modelling and simulation tools built on the AS/NZS 4234-based Python engine. These tools let manufacturers, engineers, and consultants predict energy performance, optimise designs for MEPS compliance, model demand response scenarios, and calculate whole-of-life costs.
Contents
- Performance Simulator — 1-7 day time-series simulation with energy and cost outputs
- MEPS Design Tool — Appendix H MEPS pre-test optimisation for target COP
- Residential Simulation Tool — Annual AS/NZS 4234 simulation to estimate STC and VEEC entitlements
- Demand Response Tool — DR control scenario modelling: kWh shifted and cost impact
- Lifetime Cost of Ownership — NPV and payback comparison: ESWH vs gas vs HPWH
