Hi, You may find this paper helpful: Agami; 2006, Literature Review on Calibration of Building Energy Simulation Programs: Uses; Problems; Procedures; Uncertainty; and Tools, ASHRAE Transactions; American Society of Heating; Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers; Atlanta; vol. 112; p. 226-240. This procedure I found good as well, however not helpful all the time: M. Liu, D. E. Claridge, N. Bensouda, K. Heinemeier, Seung Uk Lee, and G. Wei, October, 2003, Manual of Procedures for Calibrating Simulations of Building Systems, California Energy Commission HPCBS # E5P23T2b. For statistical limits, you can refer to ASHRAE standard 14 . Finally, based on my short experience, "Calibration Was and STILL an Art More Than a Science".
