Introduction
Building energy simulation, also called building energy modeling (or energy modeling in the context of the writing), refers to the use of software to predict energy use in a building.
Characteristics of the physical-mathematical model of the usual programs
A typical energy model will have inputs for climate; building envelope; internal gains from lighting, equipment and occupants; heating, cooling, ventilation and systems; occupant schedules, equipment and lighting.[1]
The energy model should allow for results and outputs related to energy use in typical predictions and end-use categories, such as: heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, and various electromechanical processes. In addition to energy units, most programs and software include utility rates as input data and thus energy costs can be predicted.
