<DIV><FONT face="Gill Sans MT" size=2>Hello all...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Gill Sans MT" size=2>I am working on a technology grant for the
Ecosa Institute, a budding ecological design school in Prescott, AZ, attracting
student from all design disciplines. Our practice-based educational model
engages students in real projects with real clients. The projects range
from single-family homes to large institutional buildings. Keeping up with
the latest technology is a challenging task for our non-profit and I
am exploring the most effective ways to do so. I am looking into
applying for a technology grant to fund products that will
support the use of open source programs for graphic design,
architectural drafting, site/building systems/energy modeling, etc. If
anyone knows the availability of such programs, favorites,
suggestions, please let me know. I am currently exploring EnergyPlus
and its interface possibilities. Thank you.</FONT></DIV>
