I tested energy plus on a existing building. The result 5% difference between the reality and the simulation. The only thing that I couldn't add was the thermal bridges. So I think maybe the 5% could be a 3%!
I need to work more in the model but the first result was very interesting. If you want to discuss about that, don"t hesitate. Oscar.

Suggest you review the testing and validation studies on the
website:
http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/energyplus_testing.cfm To obtain input files, you need to contact the helpdesk and request them. I think they are generally supplied.
