Title: While-you-wait window load study predicts costs of comparative glazings

Journal Article · · Energy Manage. Tech.; (United States)

This paper presents a brief-case packaged program, networked by phone to a central computer which provides an on-the-spot window load study and printout. This commercial energy simulation report (ESPCOM), five pages long, can predict actual window energy consumption in commercial buildings to within two percent annually. It is designed for buildings which have at least 5000 square feet of surface glass. ESPCOM considers a building's architectural, engineering and operational data, then determines the five-year estimated savings which can be expected of the present glazing system versus the system enhanced with any three of a series of 17 professional grade insulating films.
