Energy Simulation Software

EnergyPlus Data from energy simulation software can be very helpful to the design process. It helps architects and building designers quickly identify the most cost-effective, energy-saving measures for commercial buildings. A partial list is shown below: a comprehensive database of simulation products can be found on the BTS Tools Directory Web site.

ENERGYPlus — A new-generation building energy simulation program from the creators of BLAST and DOE-2.

ENERGY-10 — ENERGY-10, an award-winning PC-based design tool, helps architects and building designers quickly identify the most cost-effective, energy-saving measures for small commercial and residential buildings.

RADIANCE — RADIANCE is UNIX freeware for lighting design and rendering, developed by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Swiss federal government.

DOE-2 — An hourly, whole-building energy analysis program that calculates energy performance and life-cycle cost of operation.
