Abstract: . . . NOTES 14. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 Words) EnergyPlus is a whole-building energy analysis software program developed by DOE. It was recently expanded with the addition of new active solar components for simulation of photovoltaic and solar thermal hot-water heating systems. The active solar models were integrated into the program because low- or zero-energy buildings often use renewable energy resources to accomplish their energy-saving . . . . . . CLASSIFICATION OF: a.
