The U.S. Department of
Energy recently released thelatest version of its building energy modeling
software EnergyPlus, which calculates the energy required to heat,
cool, ventilate, and light a building. The advanced physics calculations within
EnergyPlus allows it to model a wide range of residential and commercial
buildings and HVAC system types, including passive building designs and
low-energy systems.
