- Summary:
- BESTEST-EX was initially published (Judkoff et al., 2010a, 2010b) with the intention that the calibration test results needed to be blind, so a certifying agency could use it for certifying calibration methods. After publication, it became apparent that the residential energy retrofit modeling industry wanted to have the ability to self-test their software, and we realized that this ability -- consistent with self-testing capability provided for the BESTEST-EX building physics tests -- would be beneficial to both software developers and users. Therefore, this document was developed to include previously withheld calibration test results, along with instructions for coordinating the use of this document with the previously published BESTEST-EX documents. Should the need arise in the future for a blind certification test, additional calibration test data would have to be generated for that purpose.
