<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve been tasked with finding a software package that
can model our chilled water system. We have a district plant that
distributes chilled water to many buildings on our campus. My specific
task is to model the chilled water system of one specific building, then those
results will determine if we continue looking for a different software package,
or proceed to model the other buildings. Pretty much they want a computer
model of the buildings chilled water system that can predict the chilled water
flow requirements for each AHU & the total building as a function of the
buildings chilled water supply temperature, outside air conditions, and air
handling unit flow rates.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I’m looking at eQuest & EnergyPlus (as they’re
the only free options I’ve found so far to play with), and I’d
really like some opinions/suggestions on how to proceed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
