Yes, still on track for the end of the month - though please bear in 
mind that this is a beta release.  Significant energy modeling 
experience, preferably with EnergyPlus, will be needed to recognize when 
some aspect of the tool is not working correctly.  We do expect to get 
substantial feedback from this release. This feedback will result in 
significant improvements to both the program and the associated 
documentation and training materials for the Version 1 release, which is 
planned for the turn of the year.

Watch this space for download information!
