ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 140-2011 - Published standard. (Supersedes ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 140-2007.)
Standard Method of Test for the Evaluation of Building Energy Analysis Computer Programs
1. PURPOSE: This standard specifies test procedures for evaluating the technical capabilities and ranges of applicability of computer programs that calculate the thermal performance of buildings and their HVAC systems.
2. SCOPE: These standard test procedures apply to building energy computer programs that calculate the thermal performance of a building and its mechanical systems. While these standard test procedures cannot test all algorithms within a building energy computer program, they can be used to indicate major flaws or limitations in capabilities.
