<font color="#336666"><font><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">Dear bldg sim,</font></font></font><div><font color="#336666"><font><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"><br></font></font></font></div><div><font color="#336666"><font><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">I am looking for papers that elaborate on the concept of modeling, and how it correlates to actual utility data to share with people within my company.</font></font></font></div>
<div><font color="#336666"><font><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"><br></font></font></font></div><div><font color="#336666"><font><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">The questions keeps popping up, eg.. </font></font></font></div>
<div><ol><li><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,102,102)">How does a baseline building compare to an average building?</span></li><li><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,102,102)">How does a proposed building typically stack up against the utility bills once the building is built?</span></li>
<li><font color="#336666" face="tahoma, sans-serif">How accurate an existing building model should be to be considered useful, and how accurate is typically possible? </font></li><li><font color="#336666" face="tahoma, sans-serif">For an experimental setup what would be considered to be close enough to be considered a "validated" model? </font></li>
</ol><div><font color="#336666" face="tahoma, sans-serif">My understanding is that modeling is to show relationships between average a baseline of a chosen vintage and that of a proposed design in terms of relative percentages. For existing buildings I think that useful is within 20% and typically possible is 10%. Then for a validation model, the most important factor is similar curves and close totals. </font></div>
