Abstract
This study aims to figure out typical meteorological data according to Korean time in order to evaluate building energy performance. Various methods of calculating typical meteorological data were compared and examined to improve accuracy and reliability of this study. This study analyzed and examined such methodologies as typical meteorological data for HASP/ACLD-8001, UK CIBSE TRY developed by CIBSE and prEN ISO 15927-4, (=ISO TRY) an international standard to evaluate annual energy demand of cooling and heating devices. In addition, actual data of KMA corresponding to Seoul in $1985{\sim}2005$ were statistically analyzed according to calculation methodology. The calculated typical meteorological data were compared te actual data using MBE, RMSE and t-Statistic. As a result, According to the comparison between average annual for HASP/ACLD-8001 and ISO TRY standard year, the average annual for HASP/ACLD-8001 is closer to actual measurement, showing that the use of typical meteorological data for HASP/ACLD-8001 is preferred. However, since the input format requested by current simulation is the same international standard as TRY. Therefore, it is necessary to improve accuracy of TRY calculation methodology and accordingly figure out Korean typical meteorological data based on average year.
