<div>Fareed,</div>

<div>start with defining what you want a code does for you. Than take the document I attached and check out which code would work the best for you. I did that and after 3 years of TRNSYS I changed to ESP-r and I really enjoyed it!</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy">I would think that the response to this question would depend in part on what the purpose of your energy model is. Are you talking about modeling to size mechanical equipment, modeling for the purpose of demonstrating compliance w/ LEED requirements, or predictive modeling meant to determine the actual anticipated energy consumption of a building?</span></p>
