E20-II
SOFTWARE TOOLS FOR THE HVAC DESIGNER
E20-II is a collection of software tools (programs) created specifically for the HVAC system designer. These programs are specifically crafted to provide the designed the following advantages:
The E20-II programs cover a wide range of typical HVAC design tasks, including:
WRITTEN FOR THE HVAC COMMUNITY
Carrier recognizes the diverse community involved in HVAC system design. that's why we've tailored different versions of the E20-II programs to different user needs. For instance, we have three levels of load estimating programs, aimed at market segments including industrial, commercial, and light commercial. This tailoring means you can find the program which fits your needs. Our customer base includes:
FROM THE COMPANY THAT INVENTED AIR-CONDITIONING
Carrier's Software Systems
Development Group takes a unique approach to developing E20-II
software that puts a team of HVAC Systems Engineers at the heart
of the development process. This guarantees not only the engineering
integrity of the software, but also its usefulness in the actual
design process. The same concept is taken a step further with
the support organization, which is also made up of HVAC Systems
Engineers. They're available not only to tell you which keys
to push, but also to help you apply the E20-II sofware to achieve
the best possible HVAC solution.
POWERFUL CALCULATIONS USING INDUSTRY STANDARDS
CONSISTENT AND FLEXIBLE USER INTERFACE
FLEXIBLE OUTPUT OPTIONS
PROFESSIONAL DOCUMENTATION
PROGRAMS FOR TODAY, TOMORROW, AND THE YEAR 2000
Carrier's E20-II programs
are distributed on an annual license basis. This approach guarantees
the highest possible level of support - both in terms of the programs
and the human touch. For each program, there is a first year
license fee, followed by annual license fees which are about 20%
of the first year license fee. While this approach bucks the
general industry trend of "shrink-wrapped" software,
the E20-II licensing policy has been enormously succesful with
our customers since its introduction in 1980. Here's why:
SUPPORT WHEN AND WHERE YOU NEED IT
Carrier maintains a staff of HVAC Systems Engineers strategically located around the country, totally dedicated to helping you apply E20-II in your designs. The support network offers the following important benefits:
TRAINING TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS
The Software Systems Support Network is also responsible for the various training modules and programs available for E20-II. These training programs are modularly structured so that you can tailor a training package to your own needs.
YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE THE LATEST VERSION
The use of computers in HVAC design is changing as rapidly today as at any other point in time. Not only are the computers themselves becoming more powerful, new HVAC system types and design techniques are constantly being introduced. The E20-II licnesing policy keeps you up-to-date with not only the latest in software design, but also the latest in HVAC systems design. Additional benefits of the license policy are:
"TRADE-IT IN"
Carrier's E20-II programs
are covered by what we call our "Lifetime Customer Policy".
This policy is aimed at total customer satisfaction, not just
today, but for as long as you license our software. One of the
key features of the policy is the Software Trade-In.
Carrier has recognized that
the typical design firm is a dynamic organization, with changing
goals and needs. We believe this applies to the firm's HVAC design
software as well - that's why we have a range of programs available.
The Software Trade-In policy was designed to make it as financially
painless as possible to meet these changing needs.
As an E20-II licensee, you
will have the option of trading in any E20-II program you currently
license for a credit towards any other E20-II program which more
closely fits your needs. What's more, the credit is in the amount
of the current price of the program. Basically, we want you to
be able to swap among the various E20-II programs to meet your
firm's needs at all times. (Some restrictions and a minimum processing
charge do apply.)
We believe this policy to
be unique in the HVAC Design software industry, if not in the
whole software industry. It's just one of the benefits of the
E20-II licensing policy that is designed to maximize your investment
in computer-aided HVAC System Design.
PLUS...
With more than 15 years of serving the computing needs of the HVAC design community, we have honed our focus on customer satisfaction to a fine edge. In addition to the many benefits already listed, your E20-II license will also provide:
