Exploring climate-induced impacts on building energy consumption can provide valuable insights for sustainable planning and environmental management in the face of a changing climate. By utilizing future weather data statistically downscaled from Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC) General Circulation Models (GCMs) 2020-2100, this paper presents broadening industry-consensus approach generating Typical Meteorological Year (fTMY) files through combination statistical downscaling...
Urban-scale building energy modeling (UBEM) holds promise for optimizing usage across extensive geographic regions. However, there is a recognized bias between simulated consumption and actual measured data. This study, based on data from Chicago, delved into correction techniques enhancing the accuracy of UBEM estimates. Initially, AutoBEM simulation yielded normalized mean error (NMBE) 1.1% 51% Coefficient Variation Root Mean Square Error (CVRMSE) after outlier exclusion. To address this,...
