The energy efficiency of buildings is very crucial in meeting certain objectives in reducing the total energy consumption of buildings. Different methods for modeling and analyzing the performance of a building from the energy consumption point of view is addressed. The use of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps in modeling various subsystems of building performance is introduced. An example demonstrating the usefulness of the FCMs method is provided.
