You could run Windows in a virtual machine on the Mac. VirtualBox and a trial version of Windows are both free. It takes some effort, but at least you can run BeOpt.
You could run EnergyPlus. https://energyplus.net/

You can run ResCheck off the website; don't need to download the software.
Thanks everyone!
You can install Boot camp and Windows 10 on a Mac and then download Beopt and run from there. I'm doing that right now on a 2015 macbook pro and it works well.
Hi there! There are a few options for energy modeling software that work on Mac computers. One option is EnergyPlus, which is a free program developed by the US Department of Energy. Another option is IESVE, which is a more comprehensive paid software. You can also check out OpenStudio, which is an open-source software that supports energy modeling. The reddit thread " https://www.reddit.com/r/AskComputerQuestions/comments/xza7h5/where_to_get_windows_10_key/?rdt=58340 " could be helpful for those who are looking for Windows 10 activation keys.
