- This paper presents the experimental development and validation of a unique, simplified and practical energy performance prediction method based on free-running temperatures and limited building envelope information in a conceptual design. It can enable architects with limited knowledge of building service engineering and simulation to quickly evaluate their designs to achieve better thermal performance. The method can be further developed into a software tool for wide industry implementation. The method can be adapted for different climate areas in China and worldwide. The project is sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 51978121).
