Building energy analysis in Title/Summary

Energy Analysis Utility

Building thermal performance calculations are made for two primary reasons. They are made to size and select mechanical equipment or to predict the annual energy consumption of a structure. While these two tasks are not mutually exclusive, and some programs can handle both tasks, they do tend to be conducted in isolation from each other.
