Computerized Instrumented Residential Audit (CIRA) source listings

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5698630
CIRA is a set of computer programs to predict the energy consumption of small buildings. It can also provide an optimized list of improvements which reduce energy use. A 30 page booklet (Pub-425 Revised) explaining CIRA inputs, outputs, and calculation methods is available at no cost through the Technical Information Department, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720. It includes an order form for disk copies of the program and for the CIRA Reference Manual. The source code in BASIC contained in this document is provided to help a user adapt the program to a particular application, or to see details of the calculation algorithms. (The engineering basis of the algorithms may be found in the CIRA Reference Manual). The programs are written in Microsoft BASIC-80, and for the version of CIRA normally distributed they are compiled on the Microsoft BASIC-80 compiler version 5.30. They are designed to run with the CP/M operating system, version 2.2.
