Residential Energy/Carbon Calculators
Web Based Calculators
- An increasing number of energy calculators can be found on the Web. Many are limited to a single equipment type, fuel, or locality. For example, a number of energy utilitites now offer web-based calculators that apply to individual fuels or local conditions.
We have assembled links to many (but certainly not all) carbon-calculators here.
The following list focuses on widely applicable energy calculators:
Map-driven solar photovoltaic system output calculator from Weather Underground
Disk Based Calculators
U.S. Department of Energy Building Energy Tools Directory
- Many of DOE's Office of Building Technology, State and Community Program (BTS) programs develop software tools to help researchers, designers, architects, engineers, builders, code officials, and others involved in the building life-cycle in evaluating and ranking potential energy-efficiency in new or existing buildings. This electronic directory provides information about the range of buildings-related energy tools available to the buildings industry. Many tools presented in this directory have been or are currently sponsored by DOE. The tools range from tools intended primarily for research to software now available from private sector vendors.
