[Bldg-sim] Need 'realistic' Building Models for E+

[Joe Huang]

Varkie,

Are you suggesting to create the input files for E+ from the building descriptions 
themselves?   That would seem like a lot of work, and also very error-prone.  I would be 
curious to see how doe2ep performs on your 2.1E files, but not curious enough to actually 
attempt that right now :-)
