Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] BESTEST and HVAC BESTEST

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

1.  The original BESTEST only tests the building envelope.  HVAC BESTEST does 
not replace the original BESTEST, it adds to it with steady-state DX packaged 
equipment tests. 
 
2.  ASHRAE Std 140-2004 includes the initial set of HVAC BESTEST tests.

3.  Yes, there are other HVAC BESTEST tests, some of which have been run with 
EnergyPlus.  These will be published as EnergyPlus testing reports sometime 
after the initial IEA report has been published.  For more information 
regarding the furnace BESTEST suite, see:

http://www.iea-shc.org/task22/deliverables.htm

For HVAC BESTEST E300 and up, I do not think a report has been published yet.
