Uncertainty analysis, based on Differential Sensitivity Analysis and Monte Carlo Analysis,
has been used in several research projects in order to estimate reliability of results …

Sensitivity analysis is used to ascertain how a given model output depends upon the input
parameters. This is an important method for checking the quality of a given model, as well as …

As building energy modelling becomes more sophisticated, the amount of user input and the
number of parameters used to define the models continue to grow. There are numerous …

Focusing on factorial experimentation with two-level factors makes this book unique,
allowing the only comprehensive coverage of two-level design construction and analysis …

Today, simulation tools are widely used to design buildings because their energy
performance is increasing. Simulation is used at different stages to predict the building's …

This paper deals with a set of applications of global sensitivity analysis to building thermal
modelling. The aim is to demonstrate the interest of such tools for model analysis and to …

One of the main tasks of the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive
2002/91/EC (EPBD) pertains to energy building certification. For this purpose, recent …

Occupant behaviors (eg, switch/dim lights, adjust thermostat, etc.) have a big impact on
building energy consumption. However, the occupant behavior in buildings is not well …

Calibrated energy models are used for measurement and verification of building retrofit
projects, predictions of savings from energy conservation measures, and commissioning …

Le recours à la simulation est décisif dans le processus de conception d'un bâtiment neuf.
