Yes, my apologies for that - I thought by "open source,"
you meant software whose source code was included in the license (open
for the user) - not that the software itself was free.<br>
Mea culpa<br>

TRNSYS is also open source. There are a couple of websites
available for information:<br><br>

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.<br>
