Version HOT2XP - CanmetENERGY.
This quick and easy tool analyzes energy use in homes with only a small amount of critical information. The graphical interface is simple enough to be used by homeowners or by home energy evaluators as a fast gateway to research-quality analysis. For much of the simple single-family housing stock, HOT2®XP can give results as accurate as those of HOT2000 or similar programs. However, as the complexity of a house increases, the HOT2®XP simulation may become more approximate. To maintain a high level of accuracy, the user may be required to override an increasing number of program defaults, or may prefer to switch to HOT2000.

Compatibility exists between the HOT2®XP generated fully-detailed house files and HOT2000 Version 8 since both programs share the underlying analysis engine of HOT2000 (which was based on over 10 years of building simulation experience and validation against DOE-2 and other hourly simulation models). Therefore, data files already generated in HOT2®XP can be used with HOT2000.
Speed and Flexibility
HOT2®XP design includes “wizards” that, with only a small amount of critical information, will characterize a house’s energy consumption. You’ll be required to enter only a handful of inputs to obtain the geometry of the house, and the house characteristics will be defaulted based on age and location.
However, in cases where houses have been renovated or upgraded, users can edit the “wizard’s” derived quantities and underlying rules and assumptions for areas and perimeters, and customize libraries of rules and defaults. This flexibility allows for far greater control of the analysis.
