Interesting, I have a couple of questions:
- How do model random variables with high variance like occupancy or equipment use? Are you using sensor/monitoring equipment or just trying to model it as best as you can?
- Did you guys use the initial energy model (built by by the design/consultant team) or do you guys build your model from scratch?
- What energy simulation engine do you guys use? I'm just curious if there's any big advantage between the engines for digital twin applications.
- thisisbrians 6y ago- We use a ton of empirical time series data from the building to calibrate the model. - There's almost never a model. We build it from scratch in every case. - We have a highly customized fork of EnergyPlus. They are all difficult to use in our experience, but EnergyPlus allows us to get the detail required for our needs.
