 A review on modeling and simulation of building energy systemsV.S.K.V. Harish and Arun Kumar Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016, vol. 56, issue C, 1272-1292 Abstract: Buildings consume about 40% of the overall energy consumption, worldwide and correspondingly are also responsible for carbon emissions. Since, last decade efforts have been made to reduce this share of CO2 emissions by energy conservation and efficient measures. Scientist across the world is working on energy modeling and control in order to develop strategies that would result in an overall reduction of a building׳s energy consumption. Development of control strategies asks for a computationally efficient energy model of a building under study. This paper presents a review of all the significant modeling methodologies which have been developed and adopted to model the energy systems of buildings. Attention is majorly focused on the works which involved development of the control strategies by modeling the building energy systems. Models reviewed are presented categorically as per the modeling approach adopted by the researchers. Simulation programs and softwares available for building energy modeling are also presented.
