DOE
Building energy software directoryが更新される。
1件の新しいソフトウェアが追加されたが、自分のものではない。
その後、2008年の9/22,
9/24, 9/25と2009年の3/18,
3/20にソフトウェアの追加が行われた模様。
2009年3月23日
めでたくソフトウェアが掲載。
しかし、特に掲載について先方からお知らせは無し。
メールをしてから掲載されるまで全部で半年ほどかかった。
内容について一応の審査があるためか、あるいは忙しかったのかわからない。

Dear
Mr/s Drury Crawley, Program Manager, Building Energy Tools
My name
is Eisuke Togashi and I’m doctor course student in Waseda
University, Japan. I am emailing you because I'd like to introduce my
software to DOE Building energy software directory. I'd appreciate it
if you could check our software. Information about our software is
described below.
Thanks regards.
// Images I attached 3 jpg
files.
// Description The name of software is "PUtility
Psychrometric". It is utility software which calculates moist
air state and draw psychrometric chart. User can plot their data on
chart by giving value of dry-bulb temperature and absolute humidity
through CSV formatted file. It can give a graphic representation of
comfortable air state with drawing region which PMV takes specific
value. Diagram can be exported to vector image file (EMF). "PUtility
Psychrometric" is released under GPL, and all the source codes
can be freely downloaded from web site.
//Expertise Required Basic
knowledge about moist air properties.
//Validation Calculation
result of PMV and PPD are verified with the BASIC code given in ISO
7730. Calculation result of moist air properties are compared to
value calculated by HVACSIM.
//Users About 40 copies downloaded
since March 2008
//Audience Engineers work at consulting
corporation or university students.
//Input Graphical user
interface is provided.
//Output It can export EMF formatted image
of psychrometric chart and export psychrometric table to CSV
formatted file.
//Computer Platform Windows. .NET Framework 2.0 is
required to run software.
//Programming Language C#
//Keywords
Moist air, Psychrometric chart, GPL, Free source
//Strengths Since
it released under GPL license, user can freely change the software or
use pieces of it in new free programs.
//Weaknesses It hasn't been
long since released, there may be still some bugs.

Popolo.Utility.LoadCalculationの場合
2009年3月
BESTESTによる熱負荷計算結果のテスト。適合率を90%超にする。

やはり、これといった返信はない。
2009年4月3日
ソフトウェアが掲載。 前回と違い1週間で掲載される。
同時に掲載されたソフトウェアは1件だったので2件のソフトウェアのために更新してくれたことになる。
前回よりも遙かに早く掲載されたのはBESTESTを行ったおかげか、あるいは2回目だったので審査が緩かったのか。

Dear Mr/s Drury Crawley, Program Manager, Building Energy Tools
My
name is Eisuke Togashi and I'm a research associate in Waseda
University, Japan. I'd like to introduce my software to DOE Building
energy software directory. I'd appreciate it if you could check our
software. Information about our software is described below.
Thanks
regards.
// Images Since it's a DLL (dynamic link library), has no
image.
// Description “Popolo.Utility.LoadCalculation”
is a collection of classes for calculating various heat transfer
phenomena. The routines have been written from scratch in C#, and
present a modern Applications Programming Interface (API) for .NET
Framework programmers, allowing wrappers to be written for very high
level languages. It contains classes for calculate solid conduction,
convective heat transfer near wall surfaces, air ventilation,
radiative heat balance of wall surfaces, transmitted solar radiation
through a window, and so on. Users should build up these classes to
simulate a whole complex building system. A sample source code to
build test cases of BESTEST are provided. Since all the source code
is distributed under the GNU General Public License, they can be
freely downloaded from web site.
//Expertise Required Basic
knowledge about heat transfer theory.
//Validation The calculation
result was tested by IEA BESTEST. The program shows reasonable
agreement with the reference programs for both the absolute results
and sensitivity results. 97.4% (151/155) of the absolute results and
80.9% (127/157) of the sensitivity results pass the tests. The result
and the source code to perform the BESTEST can be downloaded from web
site.
//Users Total downloaded numbers were counted since April
2009.
//Audience Engineers work at consulting corporation or
university students.
//Input No graphical user interface is
provided.
//Output It depends on user.
//Computer Platform
Windows or Linux. .NET Framework 2.0 or Mono is required to run
software.
//Programming Language C#
//Keywords Heat transfer,
load calculation, BESTEST, GPL, Free source
//Strengths Since it
released under GPL license, user can freely change the software or
use pieces of it in new free programs.
//Weaknesses It hasn't been
long since released, there may be still some bugs.
