1.2.40. SolArch<br />
Design tool for architects familiar with passive solar<br />
energy. It includes a thermal performance calculator, a design<br />
element checklist, and excel spreadsheets database with useful<br />
Solar Architecture parameters (e.g. thermal properties). Version<br />
1.0 is in English and includes some sample data for the UK and<br />
Ireland.<br />
