82 section three Building Energy Modeling Process Oriented Approach to Energy Modeling Christian E. Stalberg, Principal Natural Intelligence, LLC

83 Building Energy Modeling How is it done? Creating a Baseline model reflecting a minimally code compliant building Copying the baseline model then making modifications to the building including, but not limited to, one or more of the following: HVAC Glazing Exterior shading Daylighting Comparing the performance of the modified building to the baseline building, i.e. energy usage and costs.

84 Building Energy Modeling Typical Inputs: Building site data (weather data; orientation; adjacent structure shadows, etc.) Building envelope data (heat transfer surfaces e.g. walls, floors, roofs, windows, window shades & overhangs) Building operations and scheduling (occupancy, thermostat setpoints, daylighting photosensors, HVAC schedules) Internal loads (e.g. body heat, lights, equipment) HVAC equipment & performance Utility rates (electric/gas, peak/off-peak) Economic parameters (life-cycle costing, interest rates)

85 Building Energy Modeling Typical Outputs: Summary of annual projected utility costs and savings Performance graphs (e.g., monthly energy use for gas and electric, monthly facility peak kw, etc.) in comparison to the baseline Input parameter information (e.g., internal load specifications, building envelope characteristics, HVAC system definitions, etc.) Assumptions of building characteristics (e.g., schedules, HVAC set points, etc.) Notations of changes from previous models (e.g., changes made between baseline and modeling iterations) Interpretation of results Software input and output files (electronic)

86 Building Energy Modeling

87 Building Energy Modeling equest Modeling Software Structuret equest contains multiple user interfaces (3) that correspond to the design process Schematic Design wizard Design Development wizard Detailed Interface All of these interfaces produce an input text file containing Building Description Language (BDL) DOE2.2 2 uses this file for the building energy calculations You can work directly in the BDL file ( fourth user interface) BDL is located in equest/project/projectname/projectname.inp ( the inp file )

88 Building Energy Modeling equest User Interfaces & Workflow Schematic Design wizard good for preliminary analyses. Has default values and built-in workflow. Limitation: can only create one building shell Design Development wizard can create multiple shells for a single building. Also has default values and built-in workflow. Detailed Interface allows for greatest flexibility and while it has default values, there is no workflow. NOTE: A shell is any area of a building that shares the same or a similar footprint, HVAC zoning, ceiling height, envelope construction type or HVAC services.

89 Building Energy Modeling Important equest Rule Once you ve used a user interface to make a change in the model, you cannot return to a more simple user interface without over-writing those changes, e.g. going from Schematic wizard to Design Development wizard and back. In other words, you can go from a simple to more complex interface, but not backwards without losing changes.
