Calibration can reduce the performance gap of such models, however, work on this topic is limited. Motivated by the growing importance of this underexplored research area, this paper introduces a framework for the Bayesian calibration of archetype-based housing stock models of summer indoor temperature. The framework includes data-driven procedures to classify dwellings into homogeneous groups and specify prior probability distributions. To demonstrate its application, an established bottom-up model based on EnergyPlus was calibrated using data collected from 193 dwellings monitored during the 2009 4M survey in Leicester, England. Post-calibration, the root-mean-square error reduced from 2.5°C to 0.6°C and remaining uncertainties were quantified. The application of this modular framework may be extended to models of energy use and other indoor environmental parameters. %Z © 2024 The Author(s).
