VALIDATION OF HOT2000™ USING HERS BESTEST
暂无分享,去创建一个
HOT2000™, a residential energy analysis program, is constantly under evolution. New models are added to the program and its user base is ever expanding. As such it is important to continuously validate the program and ensure that it will be useful in its intended markets. To this end, HOT2000™ has been run through the HERS BESTEST, a comparative testing method against other detailed simulation programs. This report outlines the cases modeled and the assumptions which were made. It presents the results with an analysis and provides recommendations for HOT2000™ as well as for the HERS BESTEST.
