Computerized Building Energy Simulation Handbook

This text looks at the non-software aspects of using computerized building energy simulation. If you have been frustrated trying to build faithful models of existing buildings, or have become skeptical of the efficacy of building simulation this book should offer you welcome assistance.

This text provides practical, down-to-earth coverage of the non-software aspects of using computerized building energy simulation. While software is the principal "tool" in the process, the focus of this presentation is on the data needed to build a model, how to build a model, examining the results, diagnosing problems with a model and calibrating them to reality. If you have been frustrated trying to build faithful models of existing buildings, or have become skeptical of the efficacy of building simulation - or are just trying to do a better job simulating buildings - this book should offer you welcome assistance.
