- Abstract
- A comparison was made of the results of two computer programs, the National Bureau of Standards Load Determination Program (NBSLD) and the American Gas Associations E-CUBE program, in predicting the energy consumption of a multi-family high-rise apartment building located in Omaha, Nebraska. Results are given on a monthly basis for the computed energy values and compared with average monthly values of metered data obtained over a five-year period.
