Hi all,

I´m looking for the best tool to calibrate an E+ thermal model based on measured hourly Air Temperature. I´m exploring the following variables: infiltration through an Airflow Network, Internal Heat Gains (lights, people) and, maybe, HVACIdealAirLoads system size.

There are a few posts around the forum, but most of them are several years old. Only one option seems current, the PAT tool from OpenStudio, but it only runs with an osm model and not idf (I need the idf to include the Airflow Network, not yet implemented in OS).

Does anyone know a tool to perform the calibration? Ideally, something that runs the idf, compares the hourly temperature for a given period to the measured data and then adjusts the model before running again.

Thanks in advance! Rafael

UPDATE We are discussing a potential solution in the comments of this other thread. I´ll share it back here if it succeeds.
