NC-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
Hello Marcus,
I have question regarding the energy simulation software. Can we change the simulation software at any review stage.However two reviews are completed and previous simulation done on any software.
Thank you in advance.

You can. It is generally not a good idea to do so however because it opens up the entire model to review again. As the reviewer identifies issues with the models those issues are already reviewed and unless you make changes they con't be reviewed again. With a new model you would be starting from step one. I would only do this is the modeler is certain they can get it 100% right in one review phase since this is all you get in an appeal.
