Simulation of energy demands for the internal microclimate formation in BSim software and its verification

Abstract

This article deals with the description and verifying energy model building in BSim software. Results of energy demands simulation for the internal microclimate formation in a real dwelling house carried out on the basis of actual hourly interval climatic data during a whole year are presented. The results are subsequently confronted with other calculation programs, possibly simplified methods, and particularly real measuring during a whole year. The aim is to verify reliability of BSim software and accuracy of various approaches to the calculation of building's energy demands for the internal climate formation.This article deals with the description and verifying energy model building in BSim software.
