| Summary: | The energy requirements for a building have a
direct impact on the cost of operating a building and an
indirect impact on the environment. The energy estimation can
be used as a guide in design, for standards compliance, and for
economic optimization. Energy estimation can be done in
several ways. The methods vary from steady state/static to
dynamic estimation. Building energy simulation is an analysis
of energy performance of building dynamically using computer
modelling and simulation techniques. This study compares the
building cooling load derives from audit report and through
energy model with the dynamic simulation result. The building
cooling loads were determined by extracting SIRIM energy
audit report on the building and also by using energy model of
Malaysia reference office building. The building cooling load
was estimated using IES software, which simulates cooling load
demand for the building dynamically. The study found that the
simulated cooling load varies in the range of 6% from other
methods cooling load values. The difference is considered small
for estimation purposes. |
