The purpose of this paper is to develop an effective graphical presentation method which can be applied by an improved weather data display program in visualization of weather data as well as building energy analysis data. Weather data, either measured or calculated for a site, is critically important for the accurate estimation of a building's energy use. Various methods have been developed to collect and format or pack weather data to make the appropriate weather data files to be used for specific building energy simulation programs. However, most of the previous efforts have mainly focused on the numerical accuracy and reliability of the weather-formatting routines. Therefore, an effective and easy-to-use animated graphical psychrometric-chart program has been developed to visualize the characteristics of weather information and their possible impacts on environment and energy use of the simulated building. This research shows an improved psychrometric chart introducing color schemes and animations that improve visualizing the characteristics of weather data and its impacts on building design solutions. The improved psychrometric chart is presented so that it not only displays temperature and humidity, but also displays a third weather parameter such as solar radiation, precipitation, wind speed, etc., with a specific time interval. This tool shows possibilities in effective visualization of the large-scale numeric data, utilization of raw data for the early stage architectural design, and development of re-sample methods for the big database. |
