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
Mark Dewsbury
