This paper reports that an automated spreadsheet package, COOLGAS, is described. This package performs financial and electrical usage analyses of air conditioning cogeneration units. These types of spreadsheet packages have substantial advantages over traditional spreadsheet models. These include increased user-friendliness, batch analysis, and error-trapping procedures. Some of these programming techniques are discussed.
