Is this still on track to be released this month? I haven't heard anything and the month is almost over so I?m just curious.

At least for a Beta Release! If you?ll attend the ASHRAE Energy Modeling Conference 10/1-10/3, there will be demos of its capability. I think there will also be announcements on the modeling forums such as this.

Excellent! I won't be at the conference but I will be on the lookout for any announcements.

Yes, still on track for the end of the month - though please bear in
mind that this is a beta release. Significant energy modeling
experience, preferably with EnergyPlus, will be needed to recognize when
some aspect of the tool is not working correctly. We do expect to get
substantial feedback from this release. This feedback will result in
significant improvements to both the program and the associated
documentation and training materials for the Version 1 release, which is
planned for the turn of the year.

Watch this space for download information!

Is LBL going to work it through CA T-24 certification?
