End Use Technology Data Base Management System (ENUTEC). Volume 1. System Description

摘要

The End Use Technology Data Base Management System (ENUTEC) is a comprehensive computerized data base management system that allows the user to conduct a comparative analyses of the performance of HVAC equipment. It operates on the principles of the Relational Data Base Model. The data base includes economic, technical, and market parameters and two analytical model subsystems: the HVAC Seasonal Performance Program which simulates the performance of different HVAC systems, and the Parametric Allowable Installed Cost Program which computes allowable cost and performance of research technologies. The data base includes housing data for various dwelling types with different thermal characteristics and also documents and stores energy rates and bin weather data for the 18 GRI regional representative cities. Market data may be retrieved by states, GRI regions, and GRI representative cities. Volume I of the report provides a complete and detailed description of ENUTEC. Volume II defines each data element and its source. Volume III (PB87-232914), a user's manual, presents instructions and illustrations for functional operation of ENUTEC.
