        ### About
        Heaty is a **building heat load calculator** that implements the "standard method" set 
        out in the European standard EN 12831-1:2017, section 6.
        
        
        ### Installation and Usage
        Heaty's source code is available at [https://github.com/TomLXXVI/heaty](https://github.com/TomLXXVI/heaty).
        
        Several installation options are available:
        
        **Option 1**<br>
        If you have Python installed on your computer, you can clone the repository or download it as a ZIP-file 
        from GitHub. After that, you need to create a source or built distribution using the *setup.py* file in the repository. 
        To do this, after cloning or unzipping the remote repository on your local computer, step into your 
        local repository folder and type at the command prompt:
        ```
        python setup.py sdist
        ```
        to create a source distribution (`Heaty-2020.10b1.tar.gz`), or, if if you have *wheel* installed, you can also type:
        ```
        python setup.py bdist_wheel
        ```
        to create a wheel distribution (`Heaty-2020.10b1-py3-none-any.whl`).<br>
        You can then use this distribution file in your own project by taking the following steps:
        - Create a new project folder.
        - Create a virtual environment and activate it.
        - Copy the distribution file into your project folder.
        - Type e.g. `pip install Heaty-2020.10b1.tar.gz` to install the distribution in the virtual environment of your project.
        - Type `heaty` at the command prompt in your project folder to launch the GUI-program.
        
        **Option 2**<br>
        You can find Heaty also on PyPi. To install the distribution package directly from Pypi, create your 
        project folder and virtual environment as described under option 1, and type `pip install heaty` at the command prompt.
        When *pip* is finished, type `heaty` at the command prompt in your project folder to launch the GUI-program.
        
        **Option 3**<br> 
        Windows 10 users can download from GitHub, under the folder *executable* a ZIP-file *heaty.zip* that
        contains the EXE-file *heaty.exe*. Save the ZIP-file anywhere you want on your computer and unzip it there. The result 
        will be a self-contained application folder *heaty*. In this folder, double click *heaty.exe* to launch the GUI
        program.
        
        Once Heaty is running, further explanation about what Heaty can do and how to use it can be found under the *Help* menu 
        of the running program, under *User Guide*. The user guide is a PDF-document that will be opened in your standard 
        PDF-reader or web browser.
        
        
        ### Notes
        "Heaty" has been developed with Python 3.8 on a Windows 10 computer.
