Whole building validation for simulation programs including synthetic users and heating systems: experimental design

A large-scale study for validating building energy simulation programs against measured data was undertaken within IEA EBC Annex 71 “Building energy performance assessment based on optimized in-situ measurements” as a more complex and realistic successor of the dataset created previously in IEA EBC...
