[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Rapid Model Development and Calibration Question

Erik,

I would have to agree with JV, that short time frame and modeling are polar opposites.  I'm quite new to the energy modeling scene and it's a struggle getting up to speed.  Anyway, that said, what about using Design Builder and/or their Survey Data Collection & Calibration tool (currently in alpha test version).   Here's the description:

The Survey Data Collection and Calibration Tool can be used forcreating calibrated DesignBuilder thermal simulation models, i.e.thermal models that are capable of predicting measured energyconsumptions.

Just out of curiosity, what approach are you taking for the standard operating procedures and detailed steps to be
 followed at a eachs stage of the process and the most relevant parameters.  Are you using aspects of  ASHRAE 90.1  and/or Appendix G (Bldg Perf. Rating Method)

Anyway, hope that's of some use.  Let us know how things go!

Erik  (yes, that's right; spelled the same way!)
