The short form of the answer to this is "no".

The example files are developed mostly by our development team to
highlight / and (or) test some aspect of EnergyPlus that they are
developing.  Therefore, the geometry of many look the same but the
systems may be quite different.

Theoretically, each of the example files should have a group of comments
at the top of the file which will give you some idea of the purpose of
the file.  Likewise, the report variables included are chosen mostly
by the developer to track certain variables they are looking at to assure
that the development is proper.  Some example files have better
comments than others.

Naturally, more examples are added as new features are implement or some
of the example files may change to reflect new features (a good example
of this in the upcoming release is 3zvent -- which is the COMIS example
file).

Ideally, we will include some of these descriptions and maybe some common
or uncommon drawings/diagrams in the Output Details and Examples document
-- perhaps that will happen for Version 1.1 (which is expected to be
released in April 2003).

Hope this helps.
