Looks at the requirements for computer model validation, especially in regard to predicting energy usage in buildings. Discusses the IEA project for comparing and validating several computer programs in this context. Describes the Glasgow commercial building monitoring project, which includes detailed measurement of temperature and air flow rates to provide data for model validation. States what type of data is needed for validation.
