What Is TM59?

---

TM59 is specifically tailored to target overheating risk within residential buildings.

Using whole building simulation programs, Dynamic Simulation Modelling (DSM) is used to undertake Thermal Modelling, calculate energy consumption, heat gains and losses, produce daylight calculations and assess the environmental performance of a building.

Simulation programs are used to produce a 3D model of the building using actual weather and solar data for the building’s specific location which is orientation accurate. A multitude of details are input into the software including, but not limited to, building fabric, mechanical and electrical services, zonal activities, occupancy periods and HVAC schedules. Yearlong simulations are then undertaken on a room-by-room basis to calculate the building performance which can then be used for the analysis of the building.
