Comparison between Real Energy Consumption,Italian APE and Dynamic Energy Simulation
Comparison between Real Energy Consumption,Italian APE and Dynamic Energy Simulation
Vincenzo Pennisi, Davide VaresanoDOI: https://doi.org/10.13124/9788860462022_59Abstract: The most important challenge of energy modelling is certainly to guarantee that the energy consumption predicted by the simulation during the Design phase reflects the real consumption of the building once built. With the increase in energy consumption monitoring, in recent years it has been realized that there is often a substantial difference between expected and actual energy consumption; this difference is called the “Performance Gap” or “Energy Gap”. Furthermore, the energy classification of buildings according to methodologies recognized by Italian regulations is becoming increasingly important, in order to have access to economic benefits or building bonuses. The scope of this work is to compare the energy consumption estimated through dynamic energy simulations and through the Italian regulation-based software with the real consumption of the building, evaluating the reliability of the calculation procedures and calibrating the dynamic model with the real usage schedules (post occupancy evaluation). This study is based on a large recent office building, with high national and international energy performance standards (LEED certified). Pages: 487 - 494 Paper:
