ASHRAE Guideline 14, Measurement of Energy and Demand Savings, provides savings verification methods that increase investor confidence in building efficiency projects. However, widespread acceptance of its methods is still lacking. Open-source and proprietary software verification tools have gained popularity and bridge this gap, but stakeholders have little guidance in assessing their accuracy. This seminar demonstrates two public domain tools capable of generating ASHRAE compliant savings estimates. A recently completed project that developed methods and a protocol for testing these tools are discussed. The need for a standard method of test for inverse modeling tools, akin to ASHRAE Standard 140, Standard Method of Test for the Evaluation of Building Energy Analysis Computer Programs, is explored.
