Building energy simulation is used in design chiefly to

  • A.verify the building's performance after occupation
  • B.size the plant to its exact peak duty
  • C.satisfy the prescriptive route of the code
  • D.compare alternatives before anything is built

Answer: D

Correct answer: compare alternatives before anything is built

Simulation is a design tool, and its value is comparative: it shows whether a deeper overhang or better glazing does more for the same money, at a stage when both are still choices. Its absolute predictions are less reliable, since occupancy and weather will differ from the assumptions.
