Sumario:This paper presents a review of the current utility of software that simulate the energy performance of buildings. The applications of these software have a common purpose: to have buildings that are more efficient in terms of energy consumption. The building energy simulation of the energy can be applied in the early stages of building design or during the remodeling of a building to improve thermal performance. Other applications are to justify or evaluate standards on energy efficiency in buildings, and to evaluate the performance of new materials, construction system or other building components. This paper also presents the results of two research works that were done with different building simulation software. In the first case, A residential building is modelled using the software TRNSYS to evaluate the effect of roof thermal properties on the energy cost. The second case corresponds to the calibration process of a building simulation model made with OpenStudio to evaluate the energy performance of an academic building.
