Verification method for building energy simulation and its application

Summarizes the verification method and procedures of  building energy simulation, and applies the method to the energy performance analysis of a building. With the Visual DOE 4.0, develops a basic building energy model. Model verification is conducted on the comparison between simulation outputs and measured energy data. The energy model is adjusted until its statistical indices are met in compliance to applicable standards and guidelines. Based on the verification model, analyses energy end-use breakdown and simulates the effects of three energy conservation measures.
