Simulated Versus Monitored Building Behaviours: Sample Demo Applications of a Perfomance Gap Detection Tool in a Northern Italian Climate

Abstract Green building technologies and design-correlated choices may significantly contribute to supporting the transition toward net energy flows in built environment. Nevertheless, large discrepancies are underlined between standard simulated monitored behaviours requiring approaches able simply correlate real ones further support coherent certification and/or optimization. The paper focusses on application of a semi-automatic methodology compare evaluate thermal buildings considering data. approach is based new Python tool developed by authors, manage EnergyPlus inputs perform multi-source KPIs calculations. mentioned used here model verifications weather data optimizing parameters fit behaviours. applied this chapter two demo buildings, municipality school residential unit, located Turin metropolitan area Piedmont, Northwest Italy.
