Demand BEST 6.0 — there is no excuse not to model before going to EnergyPlus
One of the many issues surrounding climate change is the efficiency of HVAC systems. In fact, the EPA suggests that space heating and cooling accounts for about 48 percent of energy use in U.S. residences and about 44 percent of energy use in commercial buildings.
Today, version 6.0 of the Building Efficiency Software Technology™ (BEST) enables not only every engineer to model typical to hybrid HVAC systems with multiple sources of heating or cascaded cooling systems, but every contractor can now budget that system selection illustrating the impact on your cost and utility bills before you buy. And you can do it too! BEST is a tool for everyone, and it’s confidential and free!
