AB  - Computer simulation has been used for simulating physical process and various researches have
been conducted based on the simulation softwares. Careful evaluation of the simulation results is an important
point for developers and users. Validation is the key method to respond to this issue. This study studies the
EnergyPlus validation as simulation program for researchers and building designers. The focus of the study
is on main parameter of air temperature inside the room. Validation was tested comparing simulation results and
experimental data. The comparison of the results presented EnergyPlus can predict indoor temperature with
good accuracy and it can be used by designers and researchers to evaluate thermal comfort and energy use.
