OPEN SOURCE NEAT AUDITING TOOL

Page history last edited by joelg 12 years, 1 month ago

Rewriting the National Energy Auditing Tool in an Open Source Framework

 

Description: The National Energy Auditing (NEAT) tool is used by all participants in the DOE's Weatherization Assistance Program, many of whom are non-profits.  It's written in MS-Access and is buggy, arcane, and single user.  The goal is to  NEAT into a framework that can support energy auditing and modeling on the web for single family homes, apartments, commercial buildings, and manufactured homes.   Currently it only supports single family and manufactured homes.

 

By making NEAT easier to use, web accessible, and open source, a community can develop around it. With a larger NEAT community, the more non-profits will be able analyze their buildings.  They'll then have the information they need to make intelligent decisions about energy efficiency.  The less energy we use, the less demand we have for resources.  The cheapest kilowatt is the one we don't use....the negawatt!  Help create a tool that makes it easier to hunt for negawatts.

While I have a personal preference for using the Ruby on Rails framework, I'm not going to be programming, so I leave language choice up to developers.
