Modelling As An Accurate Indicator Of Exemplary Building Performance – Three Australian Case Studies
Peter Alan TAYLOR, Hongsen ZHANG, Bannister PAULDOI: https://doi.org/10.26868/25222708.2013.1457Abstract: The paper presents three case studies of simulations undertaken for existing buildings. The buildings are located in three major Australian capital cities. They have all been assessed under the Australian NABERS scheme and are of exemplary performance. In all cases a major refurbishment has taken place with the aim of achieving a targeted NABERS rating. The simulations were undertaken for a variety of reasons and the absolute energy predictions taken from the simulation are shown to align very closely with the measured consumption, in spite of no calibration being undertaken in two of the models. The use of simulation in both design and problem resolution is illustrated. Pages: 2535 - 2541 Paper:
