A practical tip for use of the Energy Smart Pools software:
It was created long ago, for Windows 3.1, and was not funded for updates on
new operating systems. I think it is FoxPro-based. I found that
it works okay on Win 95 or Win 98 computers, but not Win NT or
Win 2000, so if you are having trouble running the program, try loading it on
your most obsolete computer.

Software for Pools
To my knowledge none of the typical energy simulation software
can adequately simulate natatorium energy use.
We have done energy
simulation work for numerous natatoriums using custom software we have crated
for this purpose. Typically we have used it to analyze various HVAC
options. There is US DOE-funded software available free to analyze the
use of pool covers and solar water heating - http://www.eere.energy.gov/rspec/software.html
To simulate the whole building we combine the
results from our software with PowerDOE results for the remainder of the
facility.

Dear
Group:
I am looking at a 50.000
indoor pool and my question is this:
Would
Visual DOE be the preferred tool to simulate the building. It will
have a dehumidifcation heat pump for the pool and a combination of
distributed heat pumps and radiant floor water to water heat pumps fed by an
open loop system.
Thanks
