All,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=434333919-25012008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Would anyone out
there like to share experiences or precautions in using simulation models
(particularly eQuest, DOE2.1e, EnergyPlus) for load calculations? Any
advantages/disadvantages, tricks, or warnings in using these
simulation models as opposed to dedicated load calculation software like
Elite's CHVAC? Any studies comparing the two?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
