DEER 2020 History: Commercial Prototype model parameter updates

File Start Date End Date Date posted Notes
DEER2_CnT3Fkm.xlsx 2022 Jan 25 The DEER commercial energy simulation prototypes have been updated to account for all the lighting systems and activity areas defined in the DEER2016 update. Development of the updated prototypes also led to several changes to the building model assumptions. Some of these changes were needed to support the expanded activity area definitions and others were a result of the more flexible modeling framework of the new prototypes. The extensive re-development of the prototypes also led to critical review and updates of a number of model parameters, which are documented in DEER2020_Prototype_Changes.xlsx.
