•Accurate modelling of convective heat transfer is essential for building energy simulation (BES)•Extensive review of external convective heat transfer coefficient (CHTC) models in BES programs•Most BES programs rely on a single model to predict the CHTC for all types of buildings•Existing models are based on many assumptions including reference wind speed•Existing models show large differences.
