The method of calibrated computer simulation is summarized on the basis of related literatures and guidelines. It is used to analyze the energy performance of a high-rise commercial building in Shanghai, China. DOE-2 energy model is built up with the detailed data of building and system that are collected on as-built drawings, specifications, operating records and site surveys. Model calibration is conducted on the comparison between simulation output and measured energyuse. Energymodel is adjusted until statistics indices are met in compliance to applicable standards and guidelines. Calibrated model isused in the performance analysis for energy conservation measures (ECMs) that are aboutto be implemented in the retrofitting project of the high-rise, including using variable speed chilled water pumps instead of constant variable speed ones, using free cooling during winter and mild seasons, decreasing lighting power densities. Energy saving performance is simulated and calculated to find out which ECM is the best option for the building. # 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
