An evaluation of the suitability of lumped-capacitance models in calculating energy needs and thermal behaviour of buildings

• The accuracy of ISO 13790 and VDI 6007 simplified building models is assessed. • Different envelopes and weather data are considered for both heating and cooling. • The 1C model deviates critically from TRNSYS when high heat gains occur. • The 2C model is suitable for both heating and cooling mode...
