Validation of Tas against BS EN ISO Standards
The BS EN ISO Standards 13791, 13792, 15255, and 15265 are used to validate a building simulation software’s results against expected results; compliance with these standards demonstrates the integrity of the simulation engine as the results are concerned with the solar, heat flow, and room load calculations which underpin the annual simulation. Models were set
