[EnergyPlus_Support] Energy Plus simulations and compliance with ISO 13790 and 52016-1

["lucacaruso@xxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

thank you for accepting me.

I would like to know whether is it possible to use E.Plus for the above-mentioned standards, since the simplifications  made in those norms , at a first glance, don't perfectly match the purposes of the software.

EU's Levels framework states 

"Guidance note 1.4 for design teams

 (....) In some Member States, the simulation model that supports the national calculation method is dynamic ? for example, CALENER/HULC in Spain. Training aand support in the use of the tool is therefore available.
Where a dynamic simulation tool is not available nationally, a number of international tools are available, some of which are free to obtain ? for example,  EnergyPlus. Suitable dynamic simulation tools shall have been validated according to the procedures of EN ISO 52016-1, EN 15265 or ASHRAE 140 (the latter two being based on the BESTEST method). Tools that are known to already have been validated accordingly include DOE2, BLAST, ESP, SRES/SUN (SERIRES/SUNCODE), SERIRES, S3PAS (LIDER/CALENER), TAS, TRNSYS and EnergyPlus."

Any references would be very appreciated. 

Luca
