The importance of model calibration has been growing up as a result of the energy refurbishment policy promoted by the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD 2010/31/EU). In fact, with the purpose of ensuring a suitable refurbishment design with effective energy conservation measures (ECM), an accurate model has to be defined in order to assess the energy behaviour of the as-built building. In this chapter, some issues related to the model calibration are presented, starting from the definition of an operative procedure step by step. Furthermore, for the most critical phases of the procedure, analysis techniques and experimental methods are described both through theory and practical examples. Finally, throughout the chapter, the analysis of a case study is presented.

Abstract
The importance of model calibration has been growing up as a result of the energy refurbishment policy promoted by the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD 2010/31/EU). In fact, with the purpose of ensuring a suitable refurbishment design with effective energy conservation measures (ECM), an accurate model has to be defined in order to assess the energy behaviour of the as-built building. In this chapter, some issues related to the model calibration are presented, starting from the definition of an operative procedure step by step. Furthermore, for the most critical phases of the procedure, analysis techniques and experimental methods are described both through theory and practical examples. Finally, throughout the chapter, the analysis of a case study is presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
