Conclusions
• Combine existing tools and information to design and dimension DRE system into one single tool accessible for designers
• Allow designers to have a basic knowledge on energy, and to integrate energy requirement into their design works
• Implemented with excel to make calculations
• It can be easily updated and integrated to be open to the fast evolution of the renewable energy technology
