[Bldg-sim] Building Energy Modeling Guidelines

[Paul Carey]

Ashrae 90.1 isn't a guideline? Its a set of massively prescriptive and defined rules for assessing buildings against benchmark buildings. 

We have a similar document to some extent in the UK. The national calculation methodology document that accompanies the iSBEM energy calculation tool available from the BRE outlines how to model in accordance with UK regulations or at least it does to some extent. 

Ok whilst writing this I've altered my opinions and so both are probably worth adding to list as they do have  some useful information on how to define zones, etc rather than just being code style documents.

Kind regards

Paul

Of course ASHRAE 90.1 APPENDIX G is the most popular guideline I think

I am compiling a list of published Building Energy Modeling Guidelines. I know of a few and was hoping to get some help from all of you to fill it out. This is what I know of:

1) CIBSE Applications Manual AM11: 1998, Building Energy and Environmental Modelling. The manual is available to members of the United Kingdom organization - the Chartered Institution of Building Services (CIBSE).

2) From the Colorado Governor's Energy Office, ENERGY MODELING: A GUIDE FOR THE BUILDING PROFESSIONAL. See http://rechargecolorado.org/images/uploads/pdfs/Energy_Modelling_062411.pdf

3) AIA Modeling Guidelines (believe there is a draft out for public review) but what I find on their website is:
An Architects Guide to Integrated Modeling Within the Design Process

4) GSA BIM to BEM also out for public review,see: http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/105075

5) ASHRAE Research Project 1468 BIM to BEM,

What have others come across?
