Standard method of test for the evaluation of building energy analysis computer programs.

Author(s) : ASHRAE

Type of monograph: Standard/Recommendation

Summary

This standard supersedes ANSI-ASHRAE Standard 140-2011. Standard 140 specifies a standard method of test for evaluating the technical capabilities and applicability of software used in calculating the thermal performance of buildings and their HVAC systems. These test procedures can be used to identify and diagnose predictive differences from whole-building energy simulation software that may be caused by algorithmic differences, modeling limitations, input differences, coding errors, or documentation errors.
