Estimating the real energy consumption of buildings.

Author(s) : MASON M.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Energy simulation programmes require a considerable amount of detailed input data for the building being modelled and the air-conditioning systems that are to be used to maintain conditions in the building. The way a building operates depends on the people running the building, those who work in the building and the lighting and equipment levels throughout the course of each day that the building is in use. Hence it is unrealistic to expert an energy programme to estimate the absolute energy consumption of a building over a given period of time with anything more than a crude level of accuracy.
