Also for clients who can't or don't need to pay for a full bore eQuest analysis. Also check Hot2.XP, an even lighter version of Hot2000.<br>

Check out Bildtrad, it is for envelope analysis, wall and window analysis.<br>
For everyone asking questions about foundations and wanting more detail on the F factor try BaseCalc.<br>Ground heat exchangers, GS2000.<br>All courtesy of National Research Council Canada and free. Most of these programs have been in development in excess of 15 years with extensive testing and comparison with real buildings. They are apparently also developing a metric version of eQuest.<br>
There are other programs of interest here as well depending on what you are looking to analyze.<br>Bruce Easterbrook P.Eng.<br>Abode Engineering<br><br>On 19/10/2010 06:33 PM, <a href="mailto:Gary.Schrader@buildings.schneider-electric.com" target="_blank">Gary.Schrader@buildings.schneider-electric.com</a> wrote:

From a technical perspective, PTAC is the closest thing that comes to a window unit, but as to whether or not you use a heat pump or not is totally dependent upon whether or not you want to analyze your window performance with a PTHP or a PTAC with strip heat. Unless I’m not fully understanding what it is you are trying to model…</span></font></p>
