Carrier Launches New Software for LEED EA Analysis
Thursday, November 20, 2008
SYRACUSE, N.Y., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Carrier Corp., a subsidiary of
United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX), has released version 4.40 of their
E20-II Hourly Analysis Program (HAP) software. HAP v4.40 provides significant
new features making Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Energy and
Atmosphere (LEED(R) EA) Credit 1 analysis faster and easier. Version 4.40 also
greatly expands the "wizard" automation features so energy cost performance of
heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) designs can be compared more
rapidly during schematic design. A "wizard" guides the user through creation
of the energy model, asking a short series of high-level questions and then
automatically filling in the details with intelligent defaulting.
The innovative technology embedded in HAP streamlines the steps needed to
perform a LEED EA Credit 1 analysis and allows multiple heating, ventilation,
and air-conditioning (HVAC) system alternatives. The key to this productivity
enhancement is tailoring the software features to the LEED EA Credit 1
analysis process. For example, the LEED EA Credit 1 summary report mimics the
format of the existing online template, and new input and calculation features
take into account requirements outlined by ASHRAE Standard 90.1 Appendix G.
The new wizard technology, including a new HVAC Equipment Wizard and
upgraded Building Wizard features, proves useful for both LEED projects and
general energy analysis. "These wizard features can now generate input data
for an energy analysis in a matter of minutes, allowing quick comparisons of
multiple HVAC system alternatives in the schematic design phase of a project,"
stated Larry Schaefer, software systems manager, Building Systems and
Services.
"We depend on well-designed engineering software and readily available
technical backup. The new version of HAP easily meets these requirements,"
said Jim Reynolds, president, PSF Mechanical, Inc. of Seattle, Washington.
"The software allows us to make intelligent decisions by providing ASHRAE and
LEED analysis and it is accepted by our clients, local jurisdictions and the
U.S. Green Building Council as a basis for modeling and decision making."
"HAP with wizard technology demonstrates Carrier's continued commitment to
designing innovative products and tools to support the development of
sustainable, high performance buildings," stated Kelly Romano, president,
Carrier Building Systems and Services.
