SUBJECT: TRACE 700 v6.0 Compliance with ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 140-2005
Dear TRACE User:
We are pleased to inform you that TRACE 700 v6.0 was tested in compliance with
ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 140–2004, Standard Method of Test for the Evaluation of Building
Energy Analysis Computer Programs. Test results, supplemented by graphs and explanatory
notes, accompany this letter.
As you may know, ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1–2001, Energy Standard for
Buildings, Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, stipulates that any computer program that
is used to demonstrate code compliance via the performance path’s Energy Cost Budget
Method must be tested in accordance with Standard 140. (Addendum P to Standard 90.1–
2001, published in February 2004, defined this stipulation and also required that the test
results be made available to the public.)
Standard 90.1 defines minimum requirements for the design of energy-efficient buildings
and is used by many state and local code-writing bodies as the “standard of care” in their
jurisdictions. Building-energy simulation programs, such as TRACE 700, are used to
estimate the difference in energy costs between the design- and budget-building models
specified in Section 11 of Standard 90.1.
If you have questions about the testing documentation that accompanies this letter, or
about any of Trane’s design and analysis tools, please contact our C.D.S. Support Center by
phoning (608) 787-3926 or e-mailing cdshelp@trane.com.

STANDARD 140 OUTPUT FORM - MODELING NOTES TRACE 700 v6.0
SOFTWARE: TRACE
VERSION: v6.0
DOCUMENT BELOW THE MODELING METHODS USED IF ALTERNATIVE MODELING
METHODS OR ALGORITHMS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE SOFTWARE BEING TESTED.
(See Annex A2 for examples.)
Simulated Effect (1):
Loads modeling
Optional Settings or Modeling Capabilities:
Cooling Load Methodology Options:
TETD-TA1 -- Response factor TETD/Time-Averaging method
CLTD-CLF (ASHRAE TFM) -- Exact Transfer Function Method
TETD-TA2 -- Approximate TETD/Time-Averaging method
TETD-PO -- Approximate TETD with Post Office Weighting
CEC-DOE2 -- Exact TFM method with CEC\DOE 2.1c constraints
RP359 -- ASHRAE Research Project 359 Method
RTS (ASHRAE Tables) -- Radiant Time Series coefficients based on 2001 Hof table lookup
RTS (Heat Balance) -- Radiant Time Series coefficients based on Heat Balance
Setting or Capability Used:
RTS (Heat Balance) -- Radiant Time Series coefficients based on Heat Balance
Physical Meaning of Option Used:
Each room’s solar and non-solar Radiant Time Series values are calculated based on the rigorous Heat
Balance method described in the 2001 ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals using algorithms found in
the ASHRAE Toolkit for Building Load Calculations. This TRACE load methodology also calculates the
amount of solar gain lost through retransmission back out the window. These heat balance-derived RTS
values are implemented in a manner similar to custom weighting factors used by the DOE 2.1 energy
analysis program.
Simulated Effect (2):
External heat transfer
Optional Settings or Modeling Capabilities:
Outside Film Methodology Options:
Constant (as defined in construction library)
Vary with wind speed: per the 1985 ASHRAE Handbook, P. 28.5
Vary with wind speed & direction, and deltaT: per the MoWiTT model
Vary with wind speed & direction, deltaT, and surface roughness: per the TARP model
Setting or Capability Used:
Constant (as defined in construction library)
Physical Meaning of Option Used:
The internal and external surface coefficients were set equal to the values provided in the standard.

Standard 140-2001 Extended Comments BESTEST
1. TRACE has long used a "cloud cover modifier" as the sole basis for determining
the effect of non-clear sky conditions for incident solar radiation --even when
measured solar data exists on the 8760 weather tapes. TRACE, starting with
v4.1.6, now uses measured solar exclusively when it is available on 8760 weather
locations.
2. TRACE used the standard ASHRAE algorithm for ratio of sky diffuse radiation
on a vertical surface to sky diffuse radiation on a horizontal surface, i.e., (p. eq.
21, p.30.16, 2001 Handbook of Fundamentals). Starting with v4.1.6, the
referenced algorithm was replaced by the Perez diffuse irradiation model.
3. The transmitted solar algorithm in TRACE uses the glazing characteristics
of ASHRAE single-pane, double-strength glass which are then modified by a
user-defined shading coefficient. In v6.0.1, this solar transmission calculation
augmented with an algorithm that can evaluate the properties of glazing defined
by the Window 4 program.

Standard 140-2004 Extended Comments BESTEST
Additional Notes:
1. The deviation from benchmark of the high mass peak results is very likely a
result of TRACE's linear temperature drift model. All the other models used by
the Bestest benchmark programs have some type of cubic or biquadratic
temperature drift model (that is, the temperature drift each hour is a
cubic or bi-quadratic function of several past hours' room temperature history).
TRACE, on the other hand, predicts the temperature drift each hour purely as a
function of the room mass and the previous hour's end temperature.
2. Case 960 models a passive solar sun room using a modified Trombe wall. In order
to model this configuration the associated algorithm would need to compute:
a) The hourly proportion of solar radiation absorbed by the individual sunlit
surfaces within the sunlit portion of the Trombe wall
b) The affect of introducing infiltration in the Trombe wall section
c) Adjacent space heat transfer between the Trombe wall and the interior
room.
The required inputs to model this type of configuration are not available in
TRACE.

Action taken to update code:
Standard 140-2004 Extended Comments E-Series
1. The routine for room humidity ratios was modified to test for a dry coil condition
by estimating the hourly coil apparatus dew point, ADP.
2. The routine for condenser fan energy was modified to adjust for the cycle on ratio
when calculating that the max condenser fan demand for OADB > 95F.
Additional Notes:
1. The agreement between the Envelope latent and sensible values match very
closely for all E-cases. This means that the envelope and internal load values
defined in the TRC's were correctly input.
2. After the SADBC Min/Max values were specifically input for each of the E-
Cases in Alt 1, the results for the Evaporator, Supply and Condenser fans
match the benchmark programs very closely.
