What is it about?
Net-Zero Energy Management Platforms seek novel ways to enhance modeling and optimize energy usage of the built environment to generally improve the overall efficiency of energy management strategies they implement. Though various means such as the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence have been implemented to various degrees, the capabilities of computational fluid dynamic tools have not been adequately utilized due to lack of a standard interface to integrate these flow solvers to the digital management platforms. This research paper shows the design and development of an application programming interface (API) to integrate flow solver libraries into a energy management platform.

Why is it important?
This would provide the platform with the means to integrate a thermal comfort model that would consequently lead to energy savings. It would also empower developers to build Net-Zero energy platforms that leverage CFD potentials and advance progress towards net zero energy goals.
