This month’s topic is: Energy Audits: Gathering Data for Building Simulation Model Calibration
 
The speakers are: Glenn Hansen , P.E., Senior Engineer and Christopher Morales, Engineer, Portland Energy Conservation, Inc.
 
Description:
 
This presentation is a continuation from the Energy Audits: Gathering Data for Building Simulation Model Calibration presentation in March, 2010.  Now that information/data has been gathered during the Energy Audit Site Walk-Through, how should this information/data be used to calibrate the building simulation model?  Also, what process should be followed for calibrating the building simulation model and how does an energy analyst quantify the accuracy of the model based on the calibration?  These questions and more will be addressed in the presentation.
 
This is the second of two sessions on calibrating building simulation models for existing buildings.
 
It is hoped that members will bring examples and questions to this session for discussion.
