Hot2000 there is a library and you can create your own custom
windows as well. There is a job library and you can also save
to the main program library as well to use on all jobs. I
haven't used Bildtrad but would assume it has similar
features. These programs have a quick learning curve, simple
to use. You could probably have results out of both in an
hour or 2.<br>

is the one I normally use for residential and small
buildings. 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>

you might also take a look at the full list of programs
offered. 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>

single 240 sq. ft. space with a window unit is a
bit like using a backhoe to dig a hole for a plant
in your flower garden. 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>

them, (we are not in the residential business)
there are some residential energy calculation
tools that probably would be much more appropriate
for a micro-scale project like this. I defer to
the other eQuesters who may have more knowledge in
this area than me…</span></font></p>

modeling a small space of 240 sf and want to use
window /wall unit for both heating and cooling .
I am analysing the performance of windows in
different climate zones.</span></font></p>

anyone know which system should be used for
that.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New

checking the pacakaged terminal heat pump system

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New
