To limit the probability that the energy model will not account for heat transfer through all relevant building envelope elements, which could lead to inaccuracy of the trade-off model, which could lead to underestimation of the energy use attributed to the building envelope of the proposed building or overestimation of the energy use attributed to the building envelope of the reference building, which could lead to excessive thermal transfer through the building envelope, which could lead to excessive use of energy, which could lead to an unacceptable effect on the environment.
To limit the probability that the dynamic response due to thermal characteristics of the building envelope assemblies will not be accounted for in the energy model, which could lead to inaccuracy of the trade-off model, which could lead to underestimation of the energy use attributed to the building envelope of the proposed building or overestimation of the energy use attributed to the building envelope of the reference building, which could lead to excessive thermal transfer through the building envelope, which could lead to excessive use of energy, which could lead to an unacceptable effect on the environment.
