BKL-Method: A Simplified Method to Predict Energy Consumption in Buildings
Today several computer programs, based on detailed models of buildings, are available for calculation of heat consumption. Nevertheless, there is still a need for simplified methods, for example to be used as design tools in the early lay-out of a building when main frame computers are not accessible or when complex programs are too expensive to use. The method described herein was developed to be used as a hand calculation method but the development of personal computers gives the possibility to use the method as a very quick design tool. The method cannot replace complex computer programs and should be seen as an improved degree-day method.
