INTER-PROGRAM COMPARISON OF A VIRTUAL MODEL OF AN UNIVERSITY BUILDING

Danielle Monfet, Radu Zmeureanu, Nicolas Lemire, Roland Charneux

Abstract: This paper presents the first phase of the development of a virtual model for the new Concordia Sciences Building by using the EnergyPlus program. The size and complexity of the building makes the modeling process a challenge and, at the same time, an excellent way to compare and understand the predictions of different mathematical models. During this development, an inter-program comparison of thermal loads as predicted by EnergyPlus and EE4 programs was undertaken.
