The Audit program calculates monthly and annual
heating and cooling costs for residential and light
commercial buildings. Virtually any type of coolin
and heating system can be simulated by Audit including
standard DX, evaporative, air source heat pumps, water
source heat pumps, direct exchange heat pumps, and all
types of fossil fueled furnaces and boilers including
two stage and modulating boilers. An optional version
of Audit with appliance capabilities can calculate
appliance and hot water energy use as well. Still
another option available is for utility companies
want to show disaggregated past utility bills. Audit
uses heating degree days, weather bin data, and full
load cooling hours in its calculations. Weather data
for over 1500 cities throughout the world is built-in
to Audit and additional weather data can be easily
added. Along with calculating energy costs, Audit also
performs an economic analysis that allows you to
compare system types and costs over any given stud
period. There is even
a loan, lease, and credit card analysis report
designed to demonstrate affordability of better
systems by showing that the effective net monthly cost
is often very low when monthly energy savings are
considered. To make system comparisons easy, Audit
allows you to manually enter equipment data or
automatically look it up from ARI and GAMA equipme
data files. Pictures for numerous equipment models are
included as well. Audit provides a wide selection of
nicely formatted color charts, graphs, and reports.
