Abstract: Nowadays there is a growing concern about climate change and the global warming effect produced by the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHG). At the Paris climate conference (COP21), 195 countries adopted a global climate agreement, limiting global warming to well below 2°C. Buildings are large producers of GHG and therefore international standards such as ISO 50001 focus on improving their energy performance, including energy efficiency, use and consumption. To achieve this goal it is important to have a detailed knowledge of the thermal behaviour of buildings. The International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP), proposes a calibrated simulation model (Option D) to gather this knowledge and to determine the savings associated with Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs).
