Empirical Validation of residential house energy rating software in Australia

1 post / 0 new

Dear All,

I have spent the last five years attempting to empirically validate the
Australian HER Software "AccuRate". This has included;

- the design & construction of three stand alone test cell buildings (6m x
6m),

- the design & installation of environmental measuring systems,

- the collection, collation and cleaning of data

- The detailed simulation of the test buildings accounting for actual
climate data, measured infiltration rates, framing factor, internal heat
loads, external shading, etc

- six months of statistical analysis to try and assess the differences
between simulation and actual measurements.

- a soon to be commenced conclusion

Just wandering if there is anyone else out there that has been through this
process, who I might be able to confidentially discuss some of the issue
with.

Thanks
