Energy simulations of existing dwellings are often impeded by the complexity of assigning appropriate model inputs. While data-driven calibration is an effective method to reduce variance between measured and simulated datasets, significant effort is required for monitoring and auditing. A new minimum input calibration method is proposed, where the number of inputs is greatly reduced through a three-step sensitivity analysis creating an input set with the most influential parameters on internal temperatures. The reduction in input parameters simplifies calibration and reduces the likelihood of unrealistic solutions. The proposed method is verified on two dwellings where conventional calibration techniques were compared to the minimum input calibration method using sub-hourly internal temperatures. Compared to baseline models, the variance of minimum input models reduced from 9.9% and 9.7% to 3.3% and 3.8% (CVRMSE (%)). Results indicate that minimum input model calibration can sufficien
