I used the OpenStudio measure "Create DOE Prototype Building" for a medium and large office buildings, but found that the site EUIs vary widely from the EUI summary table on DOE's website. Specifically, I ran both buildings for the 90.1-2013 standard and 4A climate zone without any further modifications and got a 35% lower EUI for the medium office building and 240% higher EUI for the large office building, compared to the DOE summary table EUIs.
Has anyone else come across this issue? Are there any best-practice suggestions for using this measure to avoid such an issue? Has this measure been validated or is it still under active development?
