Abstract

Detailed building performance simulation (BPS) is suited for verification of a design. Increasing needs to develop net-zero energy buildings, demands for passive, active and renewable energy design strategies to be aligned from the early design stage. This gives rise to simplified Building Performance Simulation (BPS) to be integrated at early design stage. This paper aims to identify the required BPS model level of detail with minimum error using parametric simulation models and Design of Experiments (DoE). Results indicates oversimplification in occupancy can produce huge error percentage of the simplified BPS model compared to detailed BPS model; followed by HVAC system, building form and so on.
