Coherent description of 48 metrics to compare, validate and assess accuracy of building energy models and indoor environment simulations
The correct evaluation of the performance of models used in the field of energy, building and indoor environment modelling is crucial to correctly assess the reliability of the results and the suitability of the model for the purpose. This technical report is supplementary material to the work of Johra et al., 2023, who conducted an extensive literature review of 259 papers to provide an overview of the evaluation metrics used by the energy, building and indoor environment research community. The information gathered from the 259 reviewed papers is compiled in the spreadsheet attached to that technical report. This technical report provides an overview of all the time series comparison metrics found for building energy and indoor environment modelling validation, using a consistent notation and naming convention and any alternative names for the respective metric. Such an overview should provide valuable guidance to both practitioners and researchers within the energy, buildings and indoor environment community. Furthermore, the use of a consistent naming and equation notation should reduce the possibility of misunderstanding, which has been highlighted in Johra et al., 2023. In addition to this overview, Section 3 discusses possible limitations and pitfalls when evaluating models within the field of energy, building and indoor environment modelling, which provide additional support.
