V. Green Energy Compass is a benchmarking tool intended for use in evaluating energy use in buildings. Its underlying assumptions are outlined in the User’s Manual, and should be fully reviewed. The capabilities of the software tool should be clearly understood when analyzing situations in which decisions are to be made regarding investments in energy conservation or building performance, and the software should only be applied along with the judgment of a professional trained in the energy field. Performance Systems Development has developed and tested the software using generally accepted engineering principles. However, Performance Systems Development accepts no responsibility for assumptions made in applying the program, or in any default values provided with the program. Results should be checked carefully, for realism, against utility bills, and on the basis of experience in the energy field. Furthermore, because energy savings ultimately depend on human behavior, the weather, and many other factors, Performance Systems Development does not guarantee cost savings associated with the use of the Green Energy Compass software. Performance Systems Development shall in no event be liable should actual energy savings and performance vary from projected savings or performance.
