[Greenbuilding] RETscreen

[Stephen Collette]

Hi Eli,

I've been dabbling in it for faith buildings, as HOT 2000 and HOT XP  
don't cut it on larger buildings like that. I like it better than HOT  
for how it builds things up. It also does have some pretty cool  
features on it. And free is always good. I'm not a full time energy  
auditor, so I'm not fluent in either program, but I'm working with a  
great energy auditor and we are learning together, and he is liking it  
even better than HOT as well. All of this is for retrofits and energy  
consumption analysis though, not new construction.

If I had more free time, I'd play with it more.

Stephen
