تجزیه و تحلیل مصرف انرژی احتمالی در ساختمان ها با استفاده از روش برآورد نقطه

This paper analyzes the energy consumption of buildings considering the uncertainty of structural and environmental parameters. To this end, two-point estimate method (2PEM) is used to model the uncertainties. EnergyPlus software is used in this paper to evaluate the energy consumption, the thermal comfort, and the energy cost of a building. We examine the proposed method in a retail building to show the effectiveness of the method in comparison with the Monte-Carlo Simulation and deterministic methods. The results show that the 2PEM method although may cause a bit accuracy loss, it can considerably reduce the simulation time by more than 97%. In addition, a sensitivity analysis is effectuated in this paper to investigate the impacts of different climate zones on the results of energy consumption analysis.
