ABSTRACT
A typical complete input file for “whole
building” (i.e. comprehensive) BEP simulation
with a tool like EnergyPlus (EnergyPlus 2009)
contains several distinct segments (Figure 1):
thermal view geometry, thermal properties
of construction materials and assemblies, internal
loads and schedules, HVAC equipment, systems
and plant definitions, HVAC operating schedules
and simulation run control data.
