<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve “grown-up” in the time when energy
modeling programs always existed. I’m curious if anyone that has
been in the business for awhile has any experience using spreadsheets to
estimate a building’s energy consumption, and if so, would you be so kind
as to share them with me? I’m not looking to use it on any projects
and would not try to hold anyone liable for any results. I’m just
curious as to how people tackled the issue of estimating energy usage, other
than degree days, before the popularization of DOE and other energy modeling
programs. Plus I think it would just be fun to play around with what
other people have used. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you in advance,<o:p></o:p></p>
