I've been led to believe that Trnsys users were like the "Jedi
knights" of building simulation and never thought - if you'll excuse
the observation - that I'd ever hear one ask such a simple question!
Time to hang up the light sabre perhaps and resort to something
simpler such as IES or Designbuilder... ;)<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<br>
<br>
Can you please suggest the best modeling tool
which has the capabilities to perform Daylight
simulation, Thermal comfort analysis in non AC
spaces of a building and Energy simulation.<br>
<br>
I am using dialux for daylight simulation, Visual
Doe for Energy simulation and Transys for Thermal
comfort analysis. I am inputting the same details
thrice in different softwares. So is there any
software which can perform all the 3 analysis in
one go.<br>
<br>
