Abstract

This paper describes the contents of an application manual for building energy and environmental software to be published in the UK. The purpose of the manual is to provide advice to practising engineers on the selection and appropriate application of such software. This is believed to be the first such manual. UK organisations involved in the project are the Department of the Environment, CIBSE, the Building Research Establishment and BEPAC. Topics covered in the paper include the reasons why the manual was considered necessary, a summary of the overall contents of the manual, and a discussion of the implications for the future development of simulation programs.
