The engineering basis is described of the DOE-2 computer program, which is capable of rapid and detailed analysis of energy consumption in buildings. The manual provides the reader with information necessary to understand in detail the calculations performed by the DOE-2 program. It contains a summary of equations and algorithms used to perform the calculations. The operation, structure, and logical sequence of calculations is described in a step-by-step manner for each of the major computational programs: BDL processor, including response factors, weighting factors, and curve-fit; LOADS, SYSTEMS, PLANT EQUIPMENT, and ECONOMICS simulators.
