Abstract
DOE-1 is a public-domain computer program that allows users to explore the energy behavior of proposed and existing buildings and their associated heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems. Incorporating mathematical models and utilizing hourly weather data, DOE-1 calculates the hour-by-hour performance and response of a building whose description has been provided by the user. In addition, DOE-1 can produce an economic analysis of the energy use and the costs and benefits of making alternation in design. DOE-1 is intended to be used by architects, engineers, and others concerned with the energy analysis of buildings and with the consequent economic implications. The source program is available from NESC and DOE-1 can be run in this manner on any CDC computer. The Users Guide example is a single-story office building located in Chicago.
