New tool predicts energy loads for sustainable architecture design.
The article discusses the development of a program called E-Load that predicts heat and cooling loads in buildings. The researchers used modified bin methods to create the program, which is based on ASHRAE fundamentals. The E-Load program has four main parts: files, data inputs, energy load estimations, and output options. It is an easy and reliable tool for estimating energy loads in houses, helping with energy-saving design in architecture.
