<p>I hope everyone interested in the standard to test rulesets (such
as Appendix G) will be able to attend. <br>
</p>
<p>See the details below.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#404040">The
standard would apply to software tools that implement
rulesets (like Standard 90.1 Appendix G) and can
automatically generate the baseline building energy model
based on the user’s building energy model. This
transformation process is complex and largely dependent on
interpretation of code requirements. ASHRAE Standard 140
tests some of the physics involved in building energy
modeling but does not include any standard method for
testing the implementation of the rulesets that are so
fundamental to the compliance process. The intent of this
standard is to provide definitions, tests, conformance
conditions, reporting, data schema and other requirements
for testing and verifying building energy modeling software
that performs compliance analysis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
