Abstract

Four building energy analysis codes are compared using two direct gain building models with Madison TMY weather data. Hourly temperature profiles and annual heating and cooling loads are compared and discussed. An analytic verification technique is described and used to investigate performance of the four codes. An anomaly is discovered in one of the codes, and the analytic verification techniqueis used to test a modified version of this code.
