Energy Modeling Basics

Making a precise energy model capable of estimating the buildings energy use is difficult because of the assumptions that have to be made and evaluated through the modeling process. So, learning about energy modeling means more than simply constructing or reconstructing a building in a software program. It means being familiar with ASHRAE and other resources, and working with the HVAC engineer and designer, to make good assumptions that result in an accurate energy model.
