[BLDG-SIM] Input Sought on Draft Standard 140P

[Jason Glazer]

Recently, a draft of Standard 140P was made available for 
public review.  The title, purpose and scope of 140P is:

Title:

BSR/ASHRAE Standard 140P, Standard Method of Test for the 
Evaluation of Building Energy Analysis Computer Programs.  

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.  

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.  

The public review period is from April 8 to June 6.  See 
ASHRAE's web site for a draft copy and the procedure to 
submit comments to ASHRAE:

Lets provide a good constructive review of a standard that 
is needed by the building energy simulation industry.
