Validation and calibration of dynamic energy models: energy audit of a public building

Abstract Detailed buildings energy audits require dynamic simulation models based on hourly input data. This paper presents the calibration and validation of an office building model for heating cooling services. Simulation are carried out by DesignBuilder software. Measured supplied generation system used model. Employee behaviour with reference to occupancy profiles indoor temperature settings is also considered. A good agreement between measured simulated data obtained both seasons.
