The MEB workflow calculates the monthly energy balance for each building in a given region, and as
a result, it provides the energy and electrical demand, the energy consumption and the peak loads for
heating, cooling, lighting and appliances.
All of these results are provided on both a monthly and a yearly basis.
In the design of this workflow, the following assumptions are made:
- No building in the region has attics
- All buildings have basements but those are not heated
- The construction details come from NRCAN
- The usage details come from NRCAN
- The system details come from the Montreal Custom catalog
- The weather file used is the epw of the area provided by EnergyPlus
