ASTM E2877

ASTM E2877 is a standard developed by ASTM International that focuses on the evaluation and validation of software used in building energy modeling. It provides a framework for assessing the accuracy and reliability of models that predict energy performance in buildings. This standard ensures that energy modeling tools produce consistent and trustworthy results, which can help architects, engineers, and builders make informed decisions to improve energy efficiency and sustainability in construction projects. Essentially, it sets guidelines for how to effectively use software in energy-related building assessments.
