    The document provides instructions for an assignment to model an existing building's energy use over multiple years using different weather files. Students are asked to compute heating degree days for each weather file year, run EnergyPlus simulations to examine variance in annual heating, cooling and fan energy use with each weather file, and comment on potential data quality issues from the weather files.

    FALL 2020 CIVE 5707

    ENERGY MODELLING FOR EXISTING BUILDINGS


    ASSIGNMENT 1
    You are provided with the AMY weather files for 2013 to 2019 for Ottawa and an IDF representing a
    generic small office building model in EnergyPlus.

    • Using the weather files provided, compute the heating degree days (with a base temperature of
    18°C) for each year. Note that you can use the Weather Statistics and Conversions utility installed
    with EnergyPlus to convert the weather files to .csv file format (which can be read by Excel).
    • Using the IDF file provided, run EnergyPlus and investigate year-to-year variance in annual
    heating, cooling, and fan energy use with each AMY file provided. Examine the relationship
    between heating, cooling, and fan energy use and the HDD.
    • Read the paper included with the assignment package and comment on potential data quality issues
    associated with the AMY files.
    Use the following EnergyPlus meters for cooling, heating, and fan electricity use, respectively:

    • CoolingCoils:EnergyTransfer.
    • HeatingCoils:EnergyTransfer
    • Fans:Electricity
    Include only the following for your assignment submission (no other attachments or appendices):
    • A report (maximum two pages including graphics, tables) – single-spaced, Times New Roman
    font size 11.
