CCM Documentation

Programm- und Modelldokumentation

The CCM Editor is a software tool for creating, checking and editing climate data sets in c6bformat, which are then used in the IBK simulation programs DELPHIN, THERAKLES and NANDRAD. CCM is an abbreviation for Climate Calculation Module, the central library for climate data handling and calculation of climatic effects, which is used equally by all IBK simulation programs.

Climate data can be available in very different forms, from measurement data to station data, individual files (e.g. ccdfiles) and in tabular form. The sources of error resulting from the processing and interpretation of data are just as varied.

It is difficult or even impossible for simulation programs to map all these variants completely automatically. In addition, many interpretation rules would then have to be configured by the user. This is one reason for the c6bformat, which follows very strict rules as an input format for the component and building energy simulation, thus reducing the load on the simulation programs.

The models usually implemented in hygrothermal building component simulation programs and building energy simulations require the data stored in the c6bformat. Instead of implementing different model variants or conversions between climate data in the individual simulation programs, the conversion of the data is carried out as a pre-processing step. With the c6bformat, the simulation programs receive a standardized, verified format and therefore do not have to perform the (error-prone) conversions, e.g. of the radiation loads, again themselves. For this reason, normal radiation data is also stored in the c6bformat in order to avoid the problem of radiation load limitation in the case of grazing incidence.
