<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thank you to all who replied on my request for ideas on conceptual modeling of central plant for large campus in early phases. Sorry for not listing source on all of these items in summary. Most went to whole distribution in their orginal form with credit to commenter. Sorry if I missed anyone.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>To summarize:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>eQuest--Use DD Wizard, and create each building as a shell with area, shape and occupancy inputs only for shell, rest as defaults. Plant can be defined to serve each building. This is probably what I will use. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>eQuest--use SD Wizard for multiple buildings and import them together.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Trane System Analyzer, and Trace</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>DOE2.1e input simple building inputs in text mode.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>VisualPlant Doe21e with building load profiles instead of separate load inputs for each building. Promising but I would have to buy new software.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>And a technical paper</FONT>
