Computerized Building Energy Simulation Handbook -
$58.00
|
This book provides practical,
down-to-earth coverage of the non-software aspects of using
computerized building energy simulation.
While software is the principal
"tool" in the process, the focus of this presentation is on
the data needed to build a model, how to build a model,
examining the results, diagnosing problems with a model, and
calibrating them to reality.
If you have been frustrated
trying to build faithful models of existing buildings, or have
become skeptical of the efficacy of building simulation - or
are just trying to do a better job simulating buildings - this
book will offer you welcome assistance.
