[BLDG-SIM] Use of BPS in design practice

[Chris Jones]

Complience with the Model National Energy Code in Canada is 
demonstrated using DOE2.1e.  The now defunct Commercial Building 
Incentive Program provided incentives of up to $60,000 for projects 
that could show a 25% reduction in energy use over the MNECB 
Reference case using whole building energy simulation with DOE2.1e.

LEED and LEED Canada both require simulation to show compliance and 
to achieve credit points based on the amount of energy cost savings 
demonstrated using DOE2.1e, DOE2.2, EnergyPlus, <others??>.
