Validation of the building thermal simulation tool focused on effect of external environment

In this study, the data related to the thermal performance of a single family house, such as room temperatures, incident solar radiations on external surfaces, form factors between external surfaces and outside environment were measured and compared with the simulated results using developed EESLISMver6. 
EESLISMver6 which can take into consideration the effects of outside environment was validated using the year-round measured data of the house built in the dense housing area. In this research, the complicated-shaped house built in a suburb of urban areas was verified. Verification of room temperatures were performed, and the calculation result of EESLISMver6 was very well in agreement with the measurement.
