Symbolic modeling in building energy simulation [PDF]

open access: yesEnergy and Buildings, 1994
Abstract We show how symbolic modeling is used in the Simulation Problem Analysis and Research Kernel (SPARK) for solving complex problems in building energy simulation. After a brief overview of SPARK, we describe its symbolic interface, which reads equations that are entered in symbolic form and automatically generates a program that solves the ...

Simplified Energy Model and Multi-Objective Energy Consumption Optimization of a Residential House

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Some analyses state that buildings contribute to overall energy consumption by 20–40%, which, in the context of the recent geopolitical energy crisis, makes them a critical issue to study.

Bayesian Calibration for Office-Building Heating and Cooling Energy Prediction Model

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
Conventional building energy models (BEM) for heating and cooling energy-consumption prediction without calibration are not accurate, and the commonly used manual calibration method requires the high expertise of modelers.

Methodology for the Quantification of the Impact of Weather Forecasts in Predictive Simulation Models

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
The use of Building Energy Models (BEM) has become widespread to reduce building energy consumption. Projection of the model in the future to know how different consumption strategies can be evaluated is one of the main applications of BEM.
