Building energy performance assessment is crucial to ascertain the efficiency of energy use
in buildings and is the basis to make any decision for enhancing energy efficiency. In order …

Buildings do not usually perform during operation as well as predicted during the design
stage. Disagreement between simulated and metered energy consumption represents a …

There are several ways to attempt to model a building and its heat gains from external
sources as well as internal ones in order to evaluate a proper operation, audit retrofit …

The evaluation of building energy consumption usually requires building energy profiles on
an hourly basis. Computer simulations can be used to obtain this information but generating …

This paper reviews existing case studies and methods for calibrating whole building energy
models to measured data. This research describes a systematic, evidence-based …

Abstract Evaluation methods can be used to determine what constitutes good energy
performance in a building. With an increasing focus on energy use of buildings worldwide …

Calibrated simulation is the process of using an existing building simulation computer
program and 'tuning'or calibrating the various inputs to the program so that observed energy …

This research work deals with an Environmental Research Institute (ERI) building where an
underfloor heating system and natural ventilation are the main systems used to maintain …

Urban building energy model (UBEM) is a powerful tool to simulate performance and
evaluate efficiency of upgrades for a group of buildings under the urban context. However …

Bayesian calibration as proposed by Kennedy and O'Hagan [22] has been increasingly
applied to building energy models due to its ability to account for the discrepancy between …
