Building Energy Modelling; Model Calibration; Model Validation; Model Input Data Template
Abstract :
[en] This report presents the official SBD Lab Quality Assurance (QA) protocol for building energy performance simulation. It defines structured steps to ensure input accuracy, functional validation, calibration, sensitivity analysis, uncertainty analysis, and transparent reporting. The methodology integrates international best practices from CIBSE TM63, CSA Group, ASHRAE Guideline 14, IPMVP, and peer-reviewed literature. It aims to close the “performance gap” between predicted and actual building energy performance by embedding QA into every modelling stage.
