SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CALIBRATING MULTI-LEVEL BUILDING ENERGY SIMULATION

摘要

Methods and systems for simulating energy use in a building is described. The method includes generating a building model based on building data associated with the building, the building model having a plurality of levels, the building model simulating the energy use in the building based on values of input parameters. The method includes receiving detected energy data associated with actual energy use in the building. The method includes performing a sensitivity analysis using the building model to identify influential parameters. The method includes performing a discrepancy analysis across the plurality of levels using the building model and the detected energy data to identify adjustable parameters. The method includes determining values for the identified adjustable parameters to minimize discrepancies at the plurality of levels. The method includes incorporating the values for the identified one or more adjustable parameters into the building model to provide a calibrated building model.
