Reviews the work done in the last 100 years in the development of short-time-step analysis and simulation of homes and buildings. The primary source of information regarding the history is ASHRAE publications (Transactions) and other related works. Covers three time periods – pre-World War II, from World War II (1945) to the second energy crisis (1973), and post-second energy crisis. The short-time-step analysis can be defined as the method that requires a complete dynamic interaction between all thermal-based elements associated with comfort and energy consumption, including the building envelope, mechanical systems, lighting, control devices, and energy conservation algorithms. The objective of short-time-step analysis is to stimulate the performance of the building on a minute-by-minute basis with the same details as the operator observes.
