Method of Test for Evaluating Building Performance Simulation Software
1. PURPOSE: This standard specifies test procedures for evaluating the technical capabilities and ranges of applicability of software that simulate the performance of buildings and their systems.
2. SCOPE: These standard test procedures apply to software that simulate the performance of a building and its systems. While these standard test procedures cannot test all algorithms within a building performance simulation software, they can be used to indicate major flaws or limitations in capabilities.
