[Annie Marston]

Apologies for cross posting!

Tuesday 25th August
6pm - 7.30pm - IBPSA NCC will be holding a summer meeting at Baumann Consulting 1424 K St NW.

We have two presentations:

Urban scale modeling of campus buildings using Virtual PULSE- Mohammad Heidarinejad, Nicholas Mattise, Matthew Dahlhausen, Saber Khoshdel Nikkho

Virtual PULSE development team will present a newly developed web-based urban scale modeling tool, named "Virtual PULSE". The presenter will elaborate details of the model creation with a follow up demonstration of Virtual PULSE for different urban neighborhoods. Virtual PULSE is accessible via: http://virtualpulse.buildsci.us/

And

Occupant impact on building energy consumption and improvement of building energy simulation with occupant information - Yang-Seon Kim

Research from a dozen case studies in commercial buildings suggests that 10-40% of energy can be saved if the occupancy presence/absence is factored into the building operation. Also, to reduce the gap between actual building energy consumption and estimated energy consumption, occupant information is important. This study quantified the impact of occupancy rates for actual commercial building energy consumption with measured data.  Also,  this study found that occupancy rates have a higher correlation with plug-load consumption than with total electricity consumption. This study shows a simplified methodology to use the plug-load consumption as an indicator for occupancy rates in building energy models.
