Annex 58 of the International Energy Agency’s Energy in Buildings and Communities Programme is an international research collaboration on the topic of ‘Reliable building energy performance characterization based on full scale dynamic measurements’. The goal of the Annex is to … Continue reading →
The EPBD defines the ‘energy performance of a building’ being the calculated or measured amount of energy needed to meet the energy demand associated with a typical use of the building, which includes, inter alia, energy used for heating, cooling, … Continue reading →
This Annex 58 subtask 4.1 involved empirical validation studies on full-scale buildings, aimed at determining the reliability of detailed building energy simulation programs to predict the energy and environmental performance. It involved a high proportion of the Annex 58 participants. … Continue reading →
In order to accurately evaluate the performance gap, it is essential that the testing methods used in research are robust and reliable. With this in mind, Subtask 2 of Annex 58 of the International Energy Agency ‘Energy in Buildings and … Continue reading →
