Time Step Considerations when Simulating Dynamic Behavior of High Performance Homes

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1357415

Building energy simulations, especially those concerning pre-cooling strategies and cooling/heating peak demand management, require careful analysis and detailed understanding of building characteristics. Accurate modeling of the building thermal response and material properties for thermally massive walls or advanced materials like phase change materials (PCMs) are critically important.
