Comparison of building energy consumption by instrumental and calculation approaches

Public and residential buildings are significant consumers of heat energy in Ukraine. According to [1] 44% of the heat energy is consumed by the housing and communal sector, while 42% of it falls on central heating systems. Therefore, to ensure the energy resources rational use an effective approach to the heating systems design is needed. Building energy modeling software can be used for decision-making to enhance energy efficiency during the building design and operation phases [2, 3]. Quasi-stationary approaches are currently used in Ukraine for building energy certification [4]. Dynamic approach using simplified hourly method is becoming used to investigate building thermal state [5]. Dynamic simulation programs are a powerful tool for energy efficiency and building thermal state investigation [6, 7]. EnergyPlus is one of the most advanced open access energy simulation application. This program uses the best features of two well-known modeling techniques: DOE-2 and BLAST.
