For large scale (1000+) building energy models using EnergyPlus, what is the best way to calibrate the models based on annual or monthly electricity and natural gas data?
I have several papers about the electricity demand in residential building. you can use it in my page in research gate.

You can follow the recommendations of the ASHRAE Guideline 14: Measurement of Energy, Demand, and Water Savings. This is one of the criteria that EnergyPlus uses for calibration in Openstudio platform.
