Hi Tim,<br>
<br>
My gut tells me that eQUEST itself would not need to be evaluated
for 508 Compliance as it is available at no cost to anyone who has a
computer to download it on. I can't think of any accessibility
issues that would come into play related to downloading or operating
eQUEST itself, although there may be some for people whose
disabilities require modifications to their computers, but again,
those wouldn't be caused by the software.<br>
<br>
Can you explain to your IT people (!) that is just a bunch of
mathematical algorithms gathered up in one place for the purpose of
modeling how energy is used in a building?<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>
<br>
Carol<br>
