Abstract

This study used a simulate based approach for calculating building energy consumption using monitoring data. This calibration was carried out on a building situated in Gurgaon, Delhi. Software used for dynamic simulation was E-Quest 3.65. The objective function was set to minimize the difference between calculated data and simulated data. The evaluation of the model accuracy, the mean bias error (MBE) and the Coefficient of Variation (Cv RMSE) were calculated. Through this paper show the real behavior of people in a building simulation, there may be differences up to 30% [1]. This paper shows the possibility of energy, money and time saving. The schedule of simulated building is same as per actual building.
