A methodology for meta-model based optimization in building energy models

▸ An analytic fit is derived for building energy models for optimization and analysis. ▸ Efficient deterministic parameter sampling is used to create the fit (meta-model). ▸ Uncertainty and sensitivity (UA/SA) analysis is performed on the analytic model. ▸ SA is performed to determine which parameters are best for optimization. ▸ The new methodology is compared to traditional optimization using EnergyPlus.
