Résumé

This paper presents the energy modelling and calibration of a small-scale experimental greenhouse using building performance simulation tools in a cold climate. The greenhouse is modelled in EnergyPlus using the OpenStudio interface. Evidence-based calibration is then performed using the available construction information. Subsequently, an automated off-line calibration of influent energy model parameters yielded a NMBE of 1.90 % and a CV-RMSE of 5.75 % over monthly energy data. The modelling and calibration conducted in this paper also helped identify knowledge gaps in controlled environment agriculture (CEA) energy modelling using building performance simulation (BPS) tools.
