[BLDG-SIM] IES<VE> Users

[Crawley, Drury]

IES<VE> is one of the 20 energy simulation programs compared in a 2005
report:

Questions one should ask in looking at any energy simulation program:
1. How detailed are the engineering models of the HVAC systems?
2. Has the program been tested using ASHRAE Standard 140-2004 and other
validation/verification methods?
    a. If so, where are the results and input/output files?

My company is considering purchasing the IES<VE> software, and the only
information I can find about it is from IES.  I'm hoping to find someone
using the software and get their opinion of it.
