1 ASHRAE Standard Test Results Comparison for Section Building Thermal Envelope and Fabric Load Tests Results for Autodesk Green Building Studio 1/26/213 vs. Informative Annex B8, Section B8.1 Example Results Prepared By Autodesk Results Developed 26-Oct-213

2 ASHRAE Standard Computer Programs, Program Authors, and Producers of Example Results for Section Building Thermal Envelope and Fabric Load Tests The programs used to generate the example results are described in Table B11-1. Under the computer program column, the first entry in each cell is the proper program name and version number. The entries in parentheses are the abbreviations for the programs generally used in the tables and charts which follow. The second column ("Authoring Organization") indicates the national research facility, university, or industry organization with expertise in building science that wrote the simulation software. The third column ("Implemented By") indicates the national research facility, university, or industry organization with expertise in building science that performed the simulations. The majority of organizations that performed simulations either ran software written by their organization or otherwise ran other building energy simulation software in addition to that written by their organization. See Standard 14, Annex B11 for further details. TABLE B11-1 Computer Programs, Program Authors, and Producers of Example Results Computer Program (Abbrev.)
