It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you need LEED or Ashrae 90.1 analysis then DOE, Equest and E+ seem to be the only ones that handle the waterside hvac in the prescribed manner. They are all free.<br>
<br>
TAS now has an A90.1 tool. It looks easy to use but as I haven't used it I can't speak authoritativley.<br>
<br>
I heard of users modelling for A90.1 with alternative tools whilst handling the waterside with seperate calculations. Of these tools IES is probably the easiest and fastest simulating. If you do not require code compliance I would probably recommend IES as
the commercial option for large buildings.<br>
<br>
I hope that this helps.<br>
