Description: DECC is looking for a contractor to provide peer review of the modelling of building energy in the Building Energy Efficiency Survey (BEES), a large research project that aims to refresh DECC’s non-domestic building energy evidence base. This peer review exercise will involve using BEES survey data to model energy use through an alternative building energy model (which the contractor is already expected to have developed). The model results will then be compared with results from the current BEES Building Energy Hypothesis Model and analysed to understand the basis of any differences. The project will take place between May and August 2015 and the following primary outputs will be produced. • A report detailing the modelling approach used for this project and an assessment of how the absolute and relative accuracy of the two models is driven by the modelling approaches. • A dataset containing all parameters and results for the modelled buildings. • A completed quality assurance log, detailing the quality assurance of the work carried out during the project. As well as the external peer review, this project will improve our understanding of the quality of the BEES modelling approach, and provide useful evidence for the development of future non-domestic modelling.
