OSTI ID:7059799

CIRA is a user friendly program for making a model of energy usage in a single-zone building, such as a single family dwelling. The program predicts the optimal package of energy-saving improvements to such a building. The program will be of interest mainly to architects, contractors, energy consultants and engineers. CIRA was largely completed in 1983 and had limited distribution (150 copies) through this laboratory using only word-of-mouth advertising. The program has been improved as a result of feedback from early users. LBL will cease distribution when the program is made satisfactorily available through commercial channels.
