<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>DesignBuilder is being used widely in Europe and
supports SI and IP units. It combines energy simulation (including natural
ventilation and daylight control) with heating and cooling load calculations. It
has a high quality OpenGL user interface, uses the EnergyPlus simulation engine
and also has Spanish and Italian language translation and support
available. It does not yet support 3-D BIM but future versions
will.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>As eQUEST does not currently support SI units, what
energy simulation programs are typically used in European countries? Are there
other programs used besides IES-VE, Ecotect and ESP-r that support SI units.
Do any of these programs combine heating and cooling load calculation with
energy simulation like Trane Trace 700?</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>Which
programs support 3-D BIM? W</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>e have projects
coming up in Spain and Italy that need to be simulated by resident
engineers.</FONT></P>
