engineering. My boss has given me the task of doing energy
simulations on buildings that we will be designing. I am trying to
find out what is the best software to use for this. I have been
trying to use EQUEST but am having a hard time making the building
model. if someone can please either tell me what is a better
software to use or tell me how to model a building with floors that have
different footprints i would really appreciate it.</span></font><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></font></p>
