AB - The object of this research work is the comparison of the annual primary  energy consumption of different types of heating systems, using two  different calculation methods. The TRNSYS 18 software makes use of dynamic  simulation, while the WinWatt software calculates according to the Hungarian  implementation of EPBD (Decree No. 7/2006). There were differences in  results which could be caused by the more precise calculation of the TRNSYS  software. Differences were shown also in the weather data used by the two  computer tools that had one of the most important effects on the results  according this investigation. The number of heating degree days used by  TRNSYS is 10% less, than that the Hungarian decree provides. Using the  yearly measured energy consumption data given by the inhabitant of the  investigated family house, the validation of the developed dynamic building  energy simulation model by TRNSYS could be also achieved with good  agreement.
