Tools

Engineering Equation Solver

The Engineering Equation Solver (EES) is a powerful program for solving engineering problems, especially in thermodynamics. The licensing agreement permits distribution to CEAE students. You must also send an email to me to obtain the necessary license file. The zip file includes instructions. Download (10 MB)

Psychrometric Spreadsheet with PMV Calculations

A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet has been developed to assist in psychrometric calculations. The spreadsheet includes VisualBasic routines for common psychrometric property calculations and for predicting thermal comfort using the PMV/PPD method. Download (91 kB)

Cooling Load Analysis Spreadsheet

A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet has been developed to evaluate cooling loads in a simple building. The spreadsheet uses a thermal network to model transient heat flows. It also accounts for solar gains and shading. Download (520 kB zip file)

Illumination Spreadsheet Tool

A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet has been developed to calculate the illuminance distribution from a luminaire on a horizontal and a vertical plane using data for the luminous intensity distribution. Download (673 kB zip file)

Lumen Method Spreadsheet

A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet has been developed to perform lighting design using the Lumen Method. Download (54 kB)

Photometric Viewer

Program, develop by Lithonia, to view photometric data from standardized IES files. Extract from zip file and run setup program. Download (930 kB zip file)

Configuration Factors

For many radiative transfer problems in both illumination and thermal analysis, it is necessary to calculate configuration factors and form factors for planar surfaces. This file contains two old Fortran program executable programs for such calculations. Download (160 kB)

Report Templates

Set of Microsoft Word templates for preparation of technical reports. The template includes standard formats, Styles, AutoText entries, shortcut keys, and other features to improve productivity and enhance document consistency. Two of the templates, ReportDuplexMaster.dot and ReportSimpleMaster.dot, also provide descriptions of the features and examples of their use. Download (145 kB)
