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>
