45-Day Public Review from April 26, 2013, to June 10, 2013

2nd Public Review of BSR/ASHRAE Addendum a to ers, will hold a conference call on Wednesday, May 8,

The purpose of this addendum is to add a new set of test cases within new Section 5.2.4 of Standard 140. These test cases use the results of verified detailed numerical models for ground-coupled heat transfer as a secondary mathematical truth standard for comparing the results of models typically used with wholebuilding energy simulation software. The new test cases use an idealized uninsulated slab-in-grade configuration (slab interior surface level with exterior soil surface).

ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 140-2011, Standard 2013 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm (Eastern). Method of Test for the Evaluation of Building Energy Analysis Computer Programs For additional information contact Daryl Erbs, Chair of SPC 29 (daryl.erbs@manitowoc.com).
