[BLDG-SIM] DOE 2.1E validation

[Joel Neymark]

Peter.

ANSI has just recently approved addendum 90.1p.  Addendum p adds the
following language to Section 11.2.1.4 of Standard 90.1-2001: "The
simulation program shall be tested according to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 140 and
the results shall be furnished by the software provider."

This implies that for a building energy analysis tool to be allowed for 90.1
"Energy Cost Budget" analysis, the software provider must document their
Standard 140 test results.  ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 140 is "Standard Method of
Test for the Evaluation of Building Energy Analysis Computer Programs",
available from ASHRAE.

Can anyone help me in providing any information regarding ASHRAE approving
DOE 2.1 as an energy simulation tool?
I know this might sound strange, even many years after the predictor
shootout and knowing that 90.1 uses DOE 2 for most of the energy simulation,
but is it written in blood anywhere.
