Complience with the Model National Energy Code in Canada is demonstrated
using DOE2.1e. The now defunct Commercial Building Incentive
Program provided incentives of up to $60,000 for projects that could show
a 25% reduction in energy use over the MNECB Reference case using whole
building energy simulation with DOE2.1e. <br><br>
LEED and LEED Canada both require simulation to show compliance and to
achieve credit points based on the amount of energy cost savings
demonstrated using DOE2.1e, DOE2.2, EnergyPlus,
<others??>.<br><br>

DOE2/eQuest is used in Australia as part of a voluntary but influential
rating system called ABGR (Australian Building Greenhouse Gas
Rating).<br>
<br>
IES is a National Calculation Method approved tool for complying with
England/Wales’ Building Regulations concerning the conservation of fuel
and energy.<br>
<br>
I believe DOE2/eQuest may be used in California also as part of
regulation compliance measures.<br>

<br>
It appears that in practice building performance simulation (BPS) is only
used for code compliance checking in the Netherlands.<br>
<br>
I am curious how that is in other countries. I would be really interested
in your professional opinion and I am looking forward to an interesting
discussion on this subject.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance, Christina<br>
