Calibrating DOE-2 to Weather and Non-Weather-Dependent Loads for a Commercial Building: Data Processing Routines to Calibrate a DOE-2 Model, Volume II
Abstract
DOE-2 yields hourly data on specific variables provided the user specifies the
HOURLY-REPORT instruction. Analyzing the simulation results with hourly data gives a more
detailed picture of how well the model is predicting the monitored energy consumption. The
difficulties of using hourly data to calibrate a model are the extraction of data from DOE-2's
well documented output reports and processing the data into graphs which are meaningful. This
chapter demonstrates the data processing routines that extract hourly end-use energy
consumption and weather data from DOE-2's hourly output reports and process the data into
three-dimensional plots and temperature-specific humidity carpet plots.
