UCLA Energy Design Tools
All the UCLA Energy Design Tools are fast, easy to use, and highly graphic. Each has a built-in demonstration. SOLAR-5 also includes a tutorial and prints its own user's manual. Each program has an INSTALL routine and a READ.ME file that explains how to use it. They run on microcomputers with DOS 3.1 or higher unless stated otherwise. Macintosh users can run then successfully using utilities like SoftPC or SoftWindows from Insignia Solutions.
