[en] The example presented here concerns the audit of a typical, medium-size, office building erected in Brussels at the end of the sixties. This building is equipped with a classical old fashioned air conditioning system with air handling units and four-pipes induction units.
In the first part of the paper, a classical audit procedure is applied. It consists in a systematic analysis of all information available, with help of very simple calculation.
In the second part of the paper, an equation-based building-HVAC simulation tool is used to assist the audit.
Fuel and electricity consumption are then interpreted and significant energy saving opportunities are identified.
