Abstract

This paper introduces and provides results from a rigorous, scientific testing methodology that allows pure building model calibration systems to be compared fairly to traditional output errors (e.g., how well does simulation output match utility bills ?) as well as input-side errors (e.g., how well, variable-by-variable, did the calibration capture the true building's description?). This system is then used to generate data for a correlation study of output and input error measures that validates CV(RMSE) and NMBE metrics put forth by ASHRAE Guideline 14 and suggests possible alternatives.
