DOE-2 Building Energy Analysis Program
TL;DRAbstract
The DOE-2 Building Energy Analysis Program was designed to allow engineers and architects to perform design studies of whole-building energy use under actual weather conditions. Its development was guided by several objectives: (1) that the description of the building entered by the user be readily understood by non-computer scientists, (2) that, when available, the calculations be based upon well established algorithms, (3) that it permit the simulation of commonly available heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment, (4) that the computer costs of the program be minimal, and (5) that the predicted energy use of a building be acceptably close to measured values. These objectives have been met. An overview of the program upon completion of the DOE-2.1C edition is given.
