| Abstract | A new energy efficiency code for nonresidential buildings is being developed in Canada. This code will have three compliance paths for the building envelope requirements - simple prescriptive tables, a tradeoff procedure, and whole-building performance modeling. In order to calculate the prescriptive requirements methods were needed to calculate the relative change in energy use for a change in envelope characteristics. Simplified methods for calculating heating and cooling loads were derived from a database of 5400 DOE-2.1E simulations of a model building. The methods predict energy use to within 10% of the DOE-2.1E simulations. The 25 locations modeled by DOE-2.1E were used to generate climate correlations to predict heating and cooling requirements for locations not in the database. These correlations can predict the loads within 20% of the DOE-2.1E results for typical heating and cooling loads. The methods derived were used in the life-cycle cost analysis used to generate the prescriptive values that appear in the new model Energy Code. They were also incorporated in the tradeoff procedure and tradeoff software. |
