Understanding different types of simulations and the usage of each is critical to designing and operating high performance buildings. When utilizing simulation to demonstrate code or above code performance, standard occupancy profiles and miscellaneous unregulated loads are acceptable and lead to satisfactory decisions. However, as we pursue net zero and regenerative design and operations, understanding and quantifying the impact of these loads and their relationship to thermal comfort and IAQ parameters becomes much more significant. This session explores ways to understand and mitigate the uncertainty leading to better design and operation of high performance buildings.
