[Bldg-sim] Fwd: Re: RE: Voodoo Engineering

[Nick Caton]

Varkie/Chris and other Bldg-Simians:

This discussion, for better or worse (it seems unintentionally), has
found its way to both the [equest-users] and [bldg-sim] mailing lists,
and seems to be progressing as distinct conversation threads...  While
[bldg-sim]/[bldg-rate] seem to be the best fit considering the topic,
I'd encourage anyone interested in following/joining the conversation to
reply to the thread on [equest-users] as (1) it's evident the attempt by
some to cross-post is being at least partially blocked and (2) there
seems to be a larger active discussion there, so your thoughts posted
here will not be missed.

That's my third cent (the other two are already in equest-users)!

Great analysis of energy modelling and the short comings of various 
simulation packages.  I especially agree with your analysis of 
equest.  I would prefer a much simpler interface with the option to 
edit the .inp file directly then run from the command line.  One can 
do this with equest but you also have to download the standalone 
version of DOE2.2 and mess around with the libraries before you can 
run an equest model from the command line.
