Text

While NMBE and CVRSME are helpful in describing uncertainty in the final savings, uncertainty in the simulation inputs must be minimized as they are not captured by these metrics. All software packages acceptable for use in Option D require a significant number of physical parameters to be specified before a building can be simulated. Often, many of these parameters are allowed to use default settings, or their inputs are based on experience or standard practice.
