<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Your model results have very
little energy for fans and cooling (and basically no heating) – I’m
not sure what you would calibrate. The actual data seems to show a much
more pronounced weather dependence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Probably some rough hand-calcs to
check against annual fan and cooling energy usage estimates might be a good
place to verify your model inputs for the HVAC systems. I think you have
a little bit of debugging of the inputs to go before thinking about “fine
tuning” or calibrating.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
