Abstract:

Computer simulation is an important and proven method to help understand and analyze the thermal performance of buildings, and predict their operational energy consumption. Building energy simulation is widely used to help design energy efficient building envelopes and HVAC systems, develop and demonstrate compliance of building energy codes, and implement building energy rating programs. However, large discrepancies exist between simulation results from different building energy modeling programs. This leads many common users lack confidence in the results from building simulation methods.
