[Bldg-sim] Load Calcs with Energy Simulation Software

[Jonathan Curtin]

Hello All,
Would anyone out there like to share experiences or precautions in using
simulation models (particularly eQuest, DOE2.1e, EnergyPlus) for load
calculations? Any advantages/disadvantages, tricks, or warnings in using
these simulation models as opposed to dedicated load calculation
software like Elite's CHVAC? Any studies comparing the two?
 
Thanks,
