Energy Modeling for LEED Projects The methodology described in ASHRAE 90.1–2004 (Appendix G), California Title 24–2005, and Oregon Energy Code 2005 involves the generation of two energy models: • one representing a baseline minimum-standard building and the • other representing the proposed building with all its designed energy enhancements. • ASHRAE Standard 90.1 “Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings” • posted in the course handouts, also UT library has all ASHRAE and ANSI standards http://www.lib.utexas.edu/indexes/titles.php?let=A • Relevant LEED Documentation • ttp://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=7795 • Software List http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=3478
DOE reference building that satisfy ASHRAE 90.1 • Sixteen climate zones • Sixteen building types • http://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/commercial_initiative/reference_buildings.html • Models already built for use in EnergyPlus
Accuracy of your energy simulation Depends primarily on your input data! • Geometry • Boundary condition • Selected models • Set points • Control set-up • Internal loads and schedule
but Simulation Software Garbage IN Garbage OUT Use it wisely! Building modeling software Very powerful tool We need sophisticated users more than sophisticated software

Review Course Objectives 1. Identify basic building elements which affect building energy consumption and analyze the performance of these elements using energy conservation models. 2. Analyze the physics behind various numerical tools used for solving different heat transfer problems in building elements. 3. Use basic numerical methods for solving systems of linear and nonlinear equations. 4. Conduct building energy analysis using comprehensive computer simulation tools. 5. Evaluate the performance of building envelope and environmental systems considering energy consumption. 6. Perform parametric analysis to evaluate the effects of design choices and operational strategies of building systems on building energy use. 7. Use building simulations in life-cycle cost analyses for selection of energy-efficient building components.
