Validation Study of a New Passive Solar Building and an Existing Office Building
Computer codes and analytical techniques are used to predict the energy performance of government buildings. Calculation methods are also used to predict the energy savings potential of certain conservation features. Once the predictions are made and the buildings are designed and built, building performance is seldom investigated. Consequently, there is little data available on how the completed structure performs relative to original predictions. This study examines two recently constructed office buildings at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). For the first building, which incorporates a Trombe wall on its southern exposure, annual energy performance predictions are compared to actual data. The study investigates reasons for the discrepancies between predicted and actual values. For the second building, a 3-story open office building, energy use data are compared to computer code predictions used to predict building performance before construction began. 3 refs., 29 figs., 11 tabs.
