A simplified building heat and moisture transfer model has been developed and integrated with relevant air-conditioning system component models for simultaneous simulation of heat and moisture transfer at the building envelope, the indoor air-zone and the aír-conditionin- system. This model requires much less computational effort when compared with other more rigorous heat and moisture transfer modelling methods. The accuracy of prediction of the model hás been compared with some experimental results. The model is outlined and the comparison tests on the integrated building and air-conditioning system model are described in this paper.
