The Building Loads Analysis and System Thermodynamics (BLAST) program is a comprehensive set of subprograms for predicting energy consumption in buildings. There are three major subprograms: (1) the space load prediction subprogram, which computes hourly space loads in a building or zone based on user input and hourly weather data; (2) the air distribution system simulation subprogram, which uses the computed space load and user inputs describing the building air-handling system to calculate hot water or steam, chilled water, and electric energy demands; and (3) the central plant simulation program, which simulates boilers, chillers, onsite power generating equipment and solar energy systems and computes monthly and annual fuel and electrical power consumption and plant life cycle cost. The program is written in Control Data Corporation (CDC) FORTRAN Extended, Version 4, and can be used on CDC 6000/7000 series computers with few or no modifications. Volume I document provides detailed user instructions, and Volume II contains a listing of the basic BLAST program library and a BLAST example.
