    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>

                      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>
