Twenty Years On!: Updating The Iea Bestest Building Thermal Fabric Test Cases For Ashrae Standard 140
Ron JUDKOFF, Joel NEYMARKDOI: https://doi.org/10.26868/25222708.2013.1049Abstract: ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 140, Standard Method of Test for the Evaluation of Building Energy Analysis Computer Programs applies the IEA BESTEST building thermal fabric test cases and example simulation results originally published in 1995. These software accuracy test cases and their example simulation results, which comprise the first test suite adapted for the initial 2001 version of Standard 140, are approaching their 20ᵗʰ anniversary. In response to the evolution of the state of the art in building thermal fabric modeling since the test cases and example simulation results were developed, work is commencing to update the normative test specification and the informative example results.
