A method of calculating weighting factors directly from input data describing a building has been added to DOE-2.1. These weighting factors, called custom weighting factors, are specific to the building being analyzed. The basis for the custom weighting-factor method and its implementation in DOE-2.1 are described. The equations used to calculate the weighting factors are developed. Assumptions required for weighting factors in general, and miscellaneous assumptions and models employed in DOE-2.1 are also discussed.
