TC 4.7 website

[Robert Sonderegger]

> Hello everyone:
> 
> Jim Kelsey asked for the TC 4.7 website:  here it is:
> http://www.ashrae.org/TECHCOMM/tc47.htm
> 
> I've been working with simulation programs et similia since 1974 (remember
> NBSLD.  Among my past "credits" are:
> 
> DOE-2 "design day routine" (ca 1977...);
> CIRA (a residential energy calc and econ optimization prog developed at
> LBNL, 1981);
> TrakLoad (bin-based, commercial buildings energy calcs and energy audit
> tool, 1984);
> Loadshaper (same as TrakLoad, but "typical-day" hourly-based, 1986);
> MarketManager (Windows-based energy analysis and cost calcs, 1988-1993);
> Metrix (utility bill analysis for energy savings evaluation, 1995).
> 
> I'm currently chair of ASHRAE's TC 4.7 (Energy Calculations).
> 
> Because of rapidly advancing senility, lately I have become more
> interested in the actual process of generating, and maintaining useful,
> well-documented, open, free, energy calculation tools.   The growing Linux
> community comes to mind. 
> 
> This would not be meant as competition to EnergyPlus or other large codes.
> Many of the "pieces" of Energy Plus et al. would fit well in this effort.
> The idea would be to make the many available toolkits (e.g. TC 4.7's
> Energy I, II, III) truly useful, by casting them into a modern S/W context
> (e.g. as COM components).
> 
>  Any interest out there for a Linux-style building simulation effort?
