Calibrated Simulation for Energy performance Evaluation in Large Sized Existing Buildings and Challenges.

Author(s) : DHAKA S., PRAJAPATI H.

Type of article: Article, Case study

Summary

Existing building stock is huge and consumes significant energy; at the same time, it has significant energy saving potential. Primarily, calibration approach is used to evaluate energy performance. Present study focuses on commercial buildings following calibrated simulation approach to examine building energy performance. Further, energy performance is compared with building code (ECBe 2007). Cost benefits analysis is carried out for recommended energy efficiency measures. Also, while developing simulation model and calibration several challenges are reported and probable solutions are discussed, particularly for chiller performance curves. It is proposed to develop programming interface to feed chiller performance data (full and part load) to the simulation software. The study addresses solutions for large sized commercial buildings in carrying out accurate energy performance analysis.
