Abstract Building Energy Model (BEM) calibration is the process of reducing the gap
between the simulation outputs and the actual measured data at the same conditions. The …

Peak electric energy demand inflicts a great stress on the electric grid during the summer in
the United States. With most years surpassing its previous year for the warmest year ever …

Building energy models are a key element in regulatory compliance calculations. These
energy performance calculations often do not accurately reflect actual operating conditions …

Buildings today represent 40% of world primary energy consumption and 24% of
greenhouse gas emissions. In our society there is growing interest in knowing precisely …

This paper demonstrates the application of Autotune, a methodology aimed at automatically
producing calibrated building energy models using measured data, in two case studies. In …

The digital world is spreading to all sectors of the economy, and Industry 4.0, with the digital
twin, is a reality in the building sector. Energy reduction and decarbonization in buildings are …

Properly treating uncertainty is critical for robust system sizing of nearly/net zero energy
buildings (ZEBs). To treat uncertainty, the conventional method conducts Monte Carlo …

Buildings play a major role in energy expenditure, representing 40% of Europe's total
energy consumption. It is estimated that heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems …
