Computer programs for energy analysis today are required to show compliance with building energy codes. They are also required for USGBC LEED certification. Energy programs should be easy to learn and use in order to keep Architectural Engineers Design (AED) costs down and also to ensure they are used correctly. It is difficult to check the results of these programs. Case Studies of different building types with their energy conservation options with numerous examples of how to perform different and specific tasks are the best way for teaching building energy analysis programs from a whole building project perspective.
