Hi Ross

Typically the vendors publish their BESTEST data online. The BESTEST system is one of self-certification, not a central authorising body..... (see http://www.iea-shc.org/task34/index.html )

ASHRAE Standard 140 incorporates some of the IEA BESTEST suite and I understand over time will incorporate more. (http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy06osti/40360.pdf )

I am not aware that ASHRAE 'certify' software in the way you seek.

Hi All,

Does anyone know where I can find a list of BESTTEST certified Building Energy Simulation software?

I can only find that Energy Plus has done the test, but not that it is BESTTest certified?

What about TAS 8.5, does anyone know where the BESTTest certification is?
