This paper describes a concept to perform commissioning and energy management based on the Energy Performance Building Directive (EPBD). The concept uses hourly measurements of consumption data for heat, electricity and water and selected internal and external temperatures. Patterns are used to detect major deficiencies in operation. Simulations based on the multizone model of the German implementation of the EPBD (DIN 18599) but with a hourly time step will
allow to derive consumption goals for the building under consideration. They also support energy managers to better understand the hourly measured consumption data and to improve energy efficiency of the building under consideration.
