'bldg-sim@lists.onebuilding.org'<BR><B>Subject:</B> [Bldg-sim] 32-bit versus
64-bit computers - APEC HCC-V<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>I bought the APEC (Automated Procedures for Engineering Consultants)
APEC programs as memorabilia when it folded up in 2002. APEC was founded
in 1965.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The APEC HCC-V (Heating
& Cooling Calculations version V) program can still be used. At SOM it
was used until 2002. </P>
<P>I was able to install and run the HCC-V program on a 32-bit computer but not
the 64-bit computer. Does anyone know how to fix a 32-bit program to
run on a 64-bit computer.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I have
the source code.</P>
<P>HCC-V is based on the TETD method. If you don't know what a decrement
factor is, enter 0.5 (the range 0 to 1). For an office bldg that closes at
6 PM make the time lag 3 hours (HCC assumes the peak hour is 3 PM) so that it
affects the building during office hours.</P>
<P>You can find information about the APEC HCC-V program in the website </P>
