[Bldg-sim] Bldg-sim Digest, Vol 95, Issue 2

[Chris Yates]

Thanks Krishnan

UK building codes are problematic for developers - software has to be 
third party accredited, but virtually all the government funding to 
accomplish this has been withdrawn. It's 'De facto' closed to new 
applicants.

On the other hand, very interested in E+ capabilities, SI unit support 
is reassuring and the core/ perimeter zoning sounds helpful.

Can I export to Energyplus stand-alone with 2016? What if I want to do 
something weird that gbs doesn't support?

Kind regards

Chris
