<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>
