Transforming a certification model for better energy use estimates at design stage as per TM54 guidelines
Regulatory Compliance models are not intended as predictors of energy use, but are sometimes mistakenly used as such. While unintentional, this incorrect method interoperation of compliance calculation results is one of the main reasons of the ‘performance gap’. This phenomenon has been widely seen in the UK, but has been observed as far afield as the US and Australia.
This webinar:
- Highlighted the differences between compliance modelling and performance modelling
- Showed how a compliance model can be converted into a performance model and meet the best practice guidance given in CIBSE TM54: Evaluating Operational Energy Performance of Buildings at the Design Stage.
