Abstract

Four micro-computer and one mainframe computer scale building energy simulation programs have been evaluated in terms of experimental long-term and transient energy usage data for two energy-efficient houses in the context of a Minnesota cold-climate environment. The test houses which have both been extensively, monitored over at least one calendar year are representative of houses defining the design boundaries within which the Minnesota housing stock is built. The two-phase validation methodology employed which utilizes a constrained optimisation approach involving primarily the parametric variation of the envelope mass flux is described and demonstrated. The results produced illustrate the viability of the parametric validation methodology and portray the importance of earth-contact heat transfer modelling in heating climates. The applicability of the programs tested to various classes of housing is annunciated in terms of the validation results produced.
