The proposed 13,000 m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (140,000 ft&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;) nine-story office building would use U.S. energy-efficient materials, space-conditioning systems, controls, and design principles that were judged to be widely replicable throughout China. The SOW stated that China would contribute the land and provide for the costs of the base building, while the U.S. would be responsible for the additional (or marginal) costs associated with the package of energy efficiency andrenewable energy improvements to the building. The project was finished and the building occupied in 2004.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using DOE-2 to analyze the energy performance of the as-built building, the building obtained 44 out of 69 possible points according to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating, including the full maximum of 10 points in the energy performance section. The building achieved a LEED Gold rating, the first such LEED-rated office building in China, and is 60% more efficient than ASHRAE 90.1-1999. The utility data from the first year&#039;s operation match well the analysis results, providing that adjustments are made for unexpected changes in occupancy and operations. Compared with similarly equipped office buildings in Beijing, this demonstration building uses 60% less energy per floor area. However, compared to conventional office buildings with less equipment and window air-conditioners, the building uses slightly more energy per floor area.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Simulation Research Group&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom1><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL-60978</style></custom2></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yu Joe Huang</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Norman Bourassa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Walter F.

However, starting in 2004, the California Energy Commission has been evaluating the possible use of EnergyPlus as the reference program in future revisions of Title-24. As part of this evaluation, the authors converted the Alternate Compliance Method (ACM) certification test suite of 150 &lt;em&gt;DOE-2&lt;/em&gt; files to &lt;em&gt;EnergyPlus&lt;/em&gt;, and made parallel &lt;em&gt;DOE-2&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;EnergyPlus&lt;/em&gt; runs for this extensive set of test cases. A customized version of &lt;em&gt;DOE-2.1E&lt;/em&gt; named doe2ep was developed to automate the conversion process. This paper describes this conversion process, including the difficulties in establishing an apples-to-apples comparison between the two programs, and summarizes how the &lt;em&gt;DOE-2&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;EnergyPlus&lt;/em&gt; results compare for the ACM test cases.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><call-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL-61527</style></call-num><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Simulation Research Group&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom1><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL-61527</style></custom2></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yu Joe Huang</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robin Mitchell</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stephen E.

The paper presents results from the first phase of the study, which addressed the systems that can be modeled, with the DOE-2.1E simulation program.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The following LEC technologies were simulated as variants of a conventional variable-air-volume system with vapor compression cooling and mixing ventilation in the occupied spaces:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Air-side indirect and indirect/direct evaporative pre-cooling&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Cool beams&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Displacement ventilation&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Results are presented for four populous climates, represented by Oakland, Sacramento, Pasadena and San Diego. The greatest energy savings are obtained from a combination of displacement ventilation and air-side indirect/direct evaporative pre-cooling. Cool beam systems have the lowest peak demand but do not reduce energy consumption significantly because the reduction in fan energy is offset by a reduction in air-side free cooling. Overall, the results indicate significant opportunities for LEC  technologies to reduce energy consumption and demand in non-residential  new construction and retrofit.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL-50677</style></custom2></record></records></xml>
