| Title: | Integrating energy performance software into Arc 334L; Environmental Controls II |
| Author: | Garrison, Michael; Matten, Steven |
| Abstract: | This paper contains reviews of various software packages designed to allow architects and engineers to analyze the functional and energy performance of a building. The reviews were conducted to facilitate the integration of new energy performance software into the Environmental Controls II course (ARC334L), offered by the UT School of Architecture. The applications considered include: gbXML, Manual J, Rhvac, Google SketchUp solar shading analysis, eQUEST, and Rainwater Calculator (for analyzing rainwater harvesting systems). |
