Abstract
The UK's goal of transitioning to net zero carbon buildings has led to an increasing focus on the reliability of modelling results for energy consumption. Detailed modelling of HVAC systems and controls is considered a breakthrough in improving model accuracy. This paper uses a school building as a case study. Two dynamic simulation approaches, template and detailed component level HVAC modelling, are used in the IES VE software to predict energy consumption and compare the results with measured data. The root causes of the performance gap are analysed based on the calibration of the models. At the same time, this study trades off the complexity of the performance modelling input parameters against the accuracy of the output results. Then explore the interoperability of input parameters in these two approaches to avoid additional uncertainties introduced by detailed modelling. Some insights are provided into the modelling of operational energy use for non-domestic buildings in the UK.
