ENERGY-10 Version 1.8

Product Details

ENERGY-10 Version 1.8 software is a powerful design tool that analyzes-and illustrates-the energy and cost savings that can be achieved through more than a dozen sustainable design strategies. Use ENERGY-10 to make informed decisions about the energy performance of smaller commercial buildings and homes. The software helps identify the best combination of nearly a dozen energy-efficient strategies. It usually takes less than an hour at a project’s outset to produce a simulation, but that small investment of time will result in energy savings of 40-70%.

Hourly energy simulations quantify, assess, and clearly depict the benefits of: daylighting, passive solar heating and cooling, natural ventilation, well-insulated building envelopes, high-performance windows, high-performance lighting systems, high-performance mechanical equipment and more.

Version 1.8 offers many new features including:

• Photovoltaic module that provides the ability to mode and simulate performance of a PV system that is either stand-alone or integrated with the building.
• Solar Domestic Hot Water module provides a new solar domestic/service hot water modeling capability.
• A new library (AHSRAELIB) is included defining constructions (wall, roof, window, etc.) as spelled out in AHSRAE 90.1-2004.
