<p class=MsoNormal>Sorry to post this here, but figured this was the best place
to ask this question. We’re starting to use Trace more and more for
energy modeling, now that it does things like ASHRAE 62 calcs and Fan Power
calcs automatically. However, the biggest stumbling block right now is
that we all have individual licenses for Trace, and so we have to remember to continuously
export / import custom libraries. This is a pain, but I don’t think
we can make a network version of Trace run on our system at the speed we need.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is there a way to “bind” libraries to a project
file?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Ideally we want a company-wide library with utility rate
structures, glass types, etc that we continuously add to, and that gets bound
to all new project files so that we don’t have to mess with exporting and
importing libraries.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is this possible?<o:p></o:p></p>
