The wider aim of this study is to achieve the calibrated digital performance simulation model of case building, enabling the prediction of future thermal and energy performance. The examined building is a three storeyed private house with 520 m2 total gross floor area, located in Kaynaklar, Izmir. It has been monitored for a total one year period between July 2009 and July 2010, including the measurement of local climate data and indicators of building thermal and energy performance. The modeling study is carried out with DesignBuilder building performance simulation software. Besides, the EnergyPlus software, supporting the entrance of detailed input data for the air source heat pump, is utilized in the modelling of HVAC system-related components of building. The impact of user on the performance is kept as out of scope in the modelling. The calibration iterations are conducted for one week between August 17 and 24, 2009 in order to represent the cooling period of 2009. At the end of the study, the results of digital model are compared with actual measured values, and the error ratios of calibrated model are presented. Key Words: Building Performance Modelling, Monitoring, Analysis of Thermal and Energy Performance, Air Source Heat Pump, Calibration
