Abstract
Computer programs which predict the thermal performance of buildings are now in widespread use. Before they can be applied with confidence their operation must be tested and their accuracy determined. This paper discusses some of the problems inherent in such model validation, outlines sources of error within simulation programs, and describes the techniques which the validator can use to detect errors.
