Hybrid Powered House Tool

The hybrid powered house online optimization tool that Professor de Weck emailed us about earlier has been moved to a better server to make sure it stays available. The new address of the tool is:

http://cadlab27.mit.edu/domewc/guest.jsp

You may also want to note that if this tool occaisionally slows down it may be because of a random initial starting point used in its algorithm, not a network issue.
