Validation methodology for solar heating and cooling systems

Dynamic thermal simulation models of buildings: New method for empirical validation

“…(The same procedure, but reversing the signs, was used if both êit and ~i, had negative signs). It was also necessary to take into account the uncertainty in the measurements and the most effective way of doing this was to include the measurement uncertainty in the quadrature addition calculation; this method has been recommended by others (17) Since the input and measurement errors were defined so that there was only about 1 % probability of their being exceeded, the total positive error at any hour represents the 99 percentile error bound and is given by:…”

Central Unresolved Issues in Thermal Energy Storage for Building Heating and Cooling

“…additional uses of the storage are considered (Anand et al 1978;Ward et al "Integration"). Clearly, there is a need for value analysis that considers complementary uses in many scenarios (see Section 2-l.).…”

Statistical Problems in Design Technique Validation

“…Although much has been written about the accuracy of design techniques in isolated situations (National Solar Data Program;SERI 1978;Knasel et al 1979b;Hill 1979;Fanney 1978;Winn 1978), and a validation methodology has been proposed (Kennish 1978;Kennish and Stolarz 1979;Knasel et al 1979a;Anand et a!. 1979), a detailed discussion of the statistical nature of validation has not been presented.…”

“…An internal validation method has recently been 1979; Knasel et al 1979a;Anand et al 1979). cal analysis· is divided into three levels:…”

“…This has been an attempt to interpret an internal validation methodology proposed by Kennish and Stolarz (1979), Knasel et al (1979a) and Anand et al (1979). Other interpretations are also possible.…”
