Winery Energy Use - BEST Winery Software Tool

Hello,

Does anyone happen to have the "BEST Winery" software tool?

I'm looking at a project that includes a new winery. When researching
winery energy use and savings measures, I came across a Guidebook for a tool
called "BEST Winery" produced by LBNL in 2005. It is an Excel based tool
that allows you to evaluate energy savings measures which sounds like a
great starting point. I contacted LBNL and they have transferred it over to
PG&E - it is not on their website but I'll try and track it down from them.
It seems as though they have a new program (WIES) but that website is shut
down.

Thanks for your help,

Aaron

Gees,? it's been so many years since I worked on the BEST Winery tool
back then at LBNL, for which I did the DOE-2 modeling.? I'll have to dig
around my office to see if I see have a copy of the report, which I
think came with the spreadsheet on a CD.

I was able to locate the BEST Winery Guidebook in my office, and have put the files up on
my WBT web site.? Please use the following link to download the two files ("BEST Winery
