OpenStudio for HEA04 BREEAM Certification

Hi everybody,

Currently we have to do building thermal comfort modelling for HEA04 BREEAM Certification. I see that TRNSYS and DesignBuilder are recognised by BREEAM for building thermal modelling. Even though building energy modeling engine of DesignBuilder is EnergyPlus, I don't know if it is possible to use OpenStudio for BREEAM (HEA04) Certification? Did anyone do building thermal modeling for a BREEAM certification using OpenStudio before?

Any suggestion/comment is appreciated.

Thanks a lot!
