Validation of a Simplified Building Cooling Load Model Using a Complex Computer Simulation Model
Building energy simulation has become a useful tool for predicting cooling, heating and electrical loads for facilities. Simulation models have been validated throughout the years by comparing simulation results to actual measured values. The simulations have become more accurate as approaches were …

Integration of geospatial and environmental data to support building renovation
Building renovation can present more complexities compared to constructing new buildings due to the necessity of dealing with existing conditions. This is not only limited to the building as-is condition but also encompasses the urban, environmental, and societal context of the building. A key goal …
