| dc.description.abstract | The U.S. housing industry appears to be on the brink of extensive computerization as a result of competitive pressures within the U.S.A., and from Europe and Japan. The Japanese lead the U.S. in computerizing the sales through design processes and the Swedes and Norwegians lead in the design through production processes. Computer-based tools for evaluating the energy performance of buildings have low levels of use throughout the industrialized housing field. If a computer- based energy evaluation tool is to be used, it must fit with the computers and software already used to produce and market industrialized housing. Therefore an energy tool which works with CAD systems, the most common non MIS computer use in industrialized housing, is more likely to be useful and actually utilized than one which does not. | en_US |
