Does anyone know where can I find Openstudio solved examples to get confidence in the software results?

I am switching from Carrier HAP to Openstudio for Energy modelling. I understand the basic modelling procedure in Openstudio but cannot yet trust the results I am getting. If there was a solved bench mark example that could allow us verify our modelling, that could be helpful.

How about using the DOE Commercial Prototype Buildings? There's nothing, IMHO, that would qualify more as a benchmark since it's been used to test and develop ASHRAE 90.1 vintages.

A lot of work has been done to model these within the OpenStudio framework and has been implemented in the openstudio-standards gem development, which now ships by default with every release of OpenStudio since version 1.12. It makes it really easy to generate these using a measure. There's even a Youtube Video to demonstrate how it works!
