Summary:

In this module we will review tools and methods to match building energy simulation results to measured real data. Firstly we will analyse the main causes for discrepancy between building energy models and measured results. Secondly we will differentiate between different terms such as: validation, calibration, verification, replicability, uncertainty and sensitivity, uncertainty propagations. Workflows for different calibration techniques and tools (brute force, Bayesian calibration, etc.) are reviewed.
