This paper gives the description of two ways of modelling an office building. Measurements made in a case building over a year are used for the calibration of two simulation models : one is a full-building model and the other one simulates a single zone , it takes into account only the adjacent rooms.The aim of the study is to find if the single-zone modelling approach is appropriate for energy use estimations. Results are presented.
