Comparison of building loads analysis and system thermodynamics (BLAST) computer program simulations and measured energy use for Army buildings. Interim report
This report describes an analysis of actual measured energy consumption vs energy consumption simulated by the Building Loads Analysis and System Thermodynamics (BLAST) computer program. A dental clinic and a battalion headquarters and classroom building were modeled; comparisons of the BLAST output using onsite weather and measured energy consumption data are made for the two buildings. The report includes tables and figures describing how well the BLAST program calculates the building's internal electrical load and, by comparing simulation results with measured values, predicts the building's cooling load and chiller performance as described by the chiller electrical energy consumption.
