    Yes, good idea, Jeff.  "Ease of use" isn't in there, but then, I
    guess that's not always important.<br>
    <br>
    Do you know of any papers that compare EQuest to EnergyPro to
    EnergyPlus to DOE-2 to TRACE-700 to anything else using ASHRAE 140?<br>
    <br>
    Maybe the publishers of these models have done the ASHRAE 140 work
    and would allow us to see it, but "Ease of Use" is not on their
    list!<br>

        <p>If you are thinking about how accurate an energy model may or
          may not be, there has been quite a bit of work done by the
          ASHRAE Standard 140 over the last 20 years, including:
          empirical, comparative and analytical models of the building
          envelope, air side systems. Standard 140 is a standard method
          of test for simulation that is used by others to see if the
          algorithms inside the program are performing correctly. The
          IEA and others have tests as well, which include side-by-side
          test boxes.</p>
