In this webinar, Max Tillberg (Product Manager at EQUA) presents a practical workflow to diagnose, analyze, and mitigate overheating in residential buildings using EQUA's dynamic simulation tool IDA ICE.
Overheating is becoming a critical challenge due to rising temperatures and climate change, affecting comfort, sleep quality, safety, and even health risks—especially for vulnerable populations.
This webinar demonstrates how to:
- Identify root causes of overheating
- Analyze thermal comfort using dynamic simulation
- Apply passive design strategies instead of energy-intensive solutions
- Translate simulation results into practical, feasible design decisions
Using a real-case example (Revit default house with high glazing ratio), the webinar walks through:
- Step-by-step overheating diagnosis
- Evaluation of thermal comfort metrics (operative temperature)
- Focus on critical zones such as bedrooms
- Comparison of different passive mitigation strategies
