Improving the performance of a whole-building energy modeling tool by using post-occupancy measured data

Energy performance of a university building is mod-eled and compared to the actual measured perfor-mance of the building. Two energy models are devel-oped in this work: design model and as-built model. The design model is based on the input parameters calculated by a consulting company for LEED submis-sion. The as-built model is built using different input parameters for envelope performance and occupancy. The impact of these parameters on the simulation re-sults are reported and discussed.
