    RESFEN --A PC program for calculating the heating and cooling energy use of windows in residential buildings

    WINDOW : for analyzing window thermal and optical performance

    THERM: for analyzing two-dimensional heat transfer through building products. "THERM..Windows-based computer program for use by building component manufacturers, engineers, educators, students, architects, and others interested in heat transfer. Using THERM, you can model two-dimensional heat-transfer effects in building components such as windows, walls, foundations, roofs, and doors; appliances; and other products where thermal bridges are of concern. THERM's heat-transfer analysis allows you to evaluate a product's energy efficiency and local temperature patterns, which may relate directly to problems with condensation, moisture damage, and structural integrity."
