, yet easy to use building energy use analysis tool which provides professional-level results with an affordable level of effort.
This freeware tool was designed to allow you to perform detailed analysis of today's state-of-the-art building design technologies using today's most sophisticated building energy use simulation techniques but without requiring extensive experience in the "art" of building performance modeling. This is accomplished by combining a building creation wizard, an energy efficiency measure (EEM) wizard and a graphical results display module with an enhanced DOE-2-derived building energy use simulation program.

, the sensor
Placement + Optimization Tool, is intended to assist a designer in
quantifying the existing or intended electric lighting and annual
daylighting characteristics of a given space and to help establish the
optimal photosensor placement for the space relative to annual
performance and annual energy savings.

|
is an easy-to-use Windows™-based program that calculates the lifecycle benefits of investments that improve building design. It analyzes the financial benefits from buildings that reduce energy cost, raise employee productivity, and enhance tenant satisfaction.
It also provides building owners, developers, tenants, architects, engineers, and facility managers with the financial information necessary to make sound decisions about building improvements.

a great deal of energy – as long as they are sized correctly, and as long as appropriate controls for electric lights are used in conjunction with skylights.
An undersized skylighting system cannot justify the cost of lighting controls and never attains the pleasing visual effect of a well-daylit space. Similarly, an oversized skylighting system allows too much solar heat into the space and lets too much heat escape on cold winter nights.
SkyCalc™ is a simple computer tool that helps building designers determine the optimum skylighting strategy that will achieve maximum lighting and HVAC energy savings for a building. This program is a Microsoft Excel™ spreadsheet application that runs on a personal computer.

Software & Tools: EDR Charette | |
|
| published Monday, February 19, 2007 |
|
is an online tool that
allows you to quickly investigate the energy impacts of various design
scenarios on a typical building, and then review the analysis
graphically in an easy to understand web-based format. It enables you
to quickly "draw" building components with drop down menus, and
estimate how different design choices will affect energy use, energy
costs, and the surrounding environment.

|
| published Sunday, February 18, 2007 |
|
is a web-based tool
designed to provide project-specific building commissioning information
to design teams. The tool will enable the user to evaluate probable
commissioning cost, to identify an appropriate commissioning scope, and
to access sample commissioning specifications related to their
construction project.
