Recommending a thermal energy benchmark based on CIBSE TM46 for typical college buildings and creating monthly energy models

• The accuracy of current CIBSE TM benchmark for University Campus (UC) was assessed. • A new revised benchmark called UCrb was presented which is more accurate than the current benchmark. • There is a difference of 110 kWh/m2/yr between UC and UCrb which is a significant improvement. • A new method...

• The accuracy of current CIBSE TM benchmark for University Campus (UC) was assessed. • A new revised benchmark called UCrb was presented which is more accurate than the current benchmark. • There is a difference of 110 kWh/m2/yr between UC and UCrb which is a significant improvement. • A new methodology for thermal energy estimation at the monthly scale was developed.
