Archi Tech Software - the programs
Thermo-Stat - Ver. 2.0 for Windows now available
(screen view). This is a powerful computer program with a comprehensive weather database of 211 U.S. cities that shows just how much you can save by installing a programmable thermostat (or adjusting your regular thermostat) ~ try it for your home or office. The program takes minutes to learn - and saves energy for years. It does industry standard engineering calculations, behind the user friendly interface.
ArchiTech - Ver. 2.0 for Windows now available
(screen view). This is another really simple program. It does annual building loads. You spend a few minutes inputting data on a building, and the program calculates the annual energy use. Then you can change a window to double paned or put a light color roof on, or shade one wall with a tree, or paint the building a light color; then find out how your bills will be affected. Absolutely no engineering or construction experience is required.
ArchiTech - Ver. 4.0 for Windows now available
(screen view). The program does the same annual building loads as version 2.0 but lets you get into all the gritty details. You spend a few minutes inputting data on a building, and the program calculates the annual energy use. It does the same calculations but allows more refined inputs. There is a separate screen for each building element that gives the annual energy costs associated with that element alone: glass, roof, walls, infiltration, floor, and misc. loads. The program has a world wide weather database. It was used to do energy audits of a dozen small hospitals for the Texas Lone Star Program, the largest energy conservation program in the world ~ so you can be confident the results are rock solid.
JLoads - Ver. 2.0 for Windows
(screen view). This is a program to do residential peak heating and cooling loads, by the Manual J method. It's simple to use and gives valuable insights into the loads attributed to each building element. The calculations include a heating and cooling load for each zone, as well as heating and cooling cfm's.
Luzifier - Ver. 2.0 for Windows
(screen view). This program uses the standard Zonal Cavity method to calculate average light levels in a room. You can see from just one screen many different things: change the wall color, or the color of the carpet or ceiling tile - and see how the light level is affected. You can try out many different types of fixtures and lamps too.
