The application of DOE-2 in the predesign phase of commercial-building design
Abstract
The results of a study in applying a high level, computer dynamic tool, DOE-2 was applied to the predesign process for a standard test office building. Five analysis tools, ranging from manual to computer dynamic methods, were used to provide predesign energy information. Computer dynamic tools, such as DOE-2 and BLAST were tested to determine if they can readily provide the necessary predesign information in a usable visual format and without excessive cost.
