[EnergyPlus_Support] envelope light and heavy wall - Energy+ vs Doe 2.1

["Emanuele Naboni" <emanuele.naboni@xxxxxxxxx>]

Gents,

 

I have been simulating with Energy+ some test houses for my PhD thesis.

Those were already simulated from a professor with Doe 2.1. (old style
professor)

 

It sems like Energy+ give approximately similar energy consumption results
about cases with heavy wall, that not happen for light wall where Doe 2.1
has higher energy consumption. I found a document with a test case that
basically said that.

 

My question is: may we say that Energy+ is more accurate in this
calculation? Is there any document I can use to support this affermation?

That is a crucial question for my thesis.

 

Thanks in advance!
