Status of the class A performance evaluation program

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6334411
A program to collect, analyze, and archive detailed test data for the rigorous validation of analysis/design tools used for passive solar research and design is described. Program accomplishments in the areas of: (1) data needs and test facilities, (2) development of a validation methodology, and (3) collection, analysis, and archiving of test data are presented. The primary work reported is in the third area, where several high-quality data sets were analyzed by comparison with public-domain passive solar analysis tools. Measured-versus-predicted results are presented in a standard graphical and statistical summary format.
