var fDesc=new Array(); fDesc[0] = "EnergyGauge USA was developed specifically to allow the easy and accurate calculation of energy use and demand in residential buildings. In the past, most residential energy analysis tools have used simplified methods to calculate residential building energy performance. EnergyGauge USA takes advantage of personal computer technology and the widely-respected DOE-2.1E software to complete an hourly annual simulation in under 30 seconds.


EnergyGauge USA has been thoroughly tested and evaluated. The software has been used to simulate homes that have been monitored in detail in the field with excellent results1 and has been subjected to the HERS BESTEST procedure, also with excellent results.2 The EnergyGauge USA BESTEST Report is on permanent file with RESNET, the nation's Accreditor of HERS Providers and Rater Training Providers."; function tShowHide(id, show) { var s = document.getElementById("desc"); if ((s.innerHTML.length<=212 || show==1) && show!=2) { s.innerHTML = fDesc[id]; if (document.getElementById('m1')) document.getElementById('m1').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('m2')) document.getElementById('m2').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('more_txt')) document.getElementById('more_txt').style.display='inline'; } else { s.innerHTML = ''; } }
