Hello,

I'm trying to write a paper about Calibration about Building Energy Model (EnergyPlus)

I have measured data (4,636.36kW) and Expected data (4,936.35kW)

And I'm trying to minimize the discrepancy to fit ASHRAE data.

(CVRMSE <15%, MBE<5% )

Here's my question.

  1. Algorithm

Is it right to us GPSHookeJeeves?

  1. Objective Function image description

I think i should input some data like 4,636.36 to find the best input parameter.

So how can I make those objective function.

I really need your answer.

Thanks for reading this

The tutorial and manual at http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/GO/... should answer these questions. If your cost function is multi-modal, you may want to use a PSO algorithm, see Section 4.2.7 in the GenOpt manual
