    Hi Gerfried,<br>
    <br>
    Do you mean KTH Sweden? You said LTH! KTH do some work with Equa
    Simulation AB and their system IDA ICE is very promising. The only
    item on the list it doesn't tick is the daylighting - and only then
    if you want output similar to Radiance. However, if you aren't
    interested in a daylight map it does have a fully integrated window
    shading and daylight model that interacts with the thermal
    simulation at runtime - like E+. To my knowledge, I am not aware
    that IES satisfies window shading models that interact with daylight
    controls at runtime - perhaps Pete Murray could comment.<br>
    <br>
    Best regards<br>

          <div>we tried out a software named PARASOL, developed by LTH
            SWEDEN. but since we wanted to model rollable blinds with
            PV-included, adding also a special control agorithm, we did
            our own model in python.</div>
          <div>by using PARASOL you may do some postprocessing for the 
            comfort factors.  also may point you to Mathcad which allows
            to do all at a macroscopic level with the help of some

                                  single U.S. tool that does an accurate
                                  analysis of what you are asking for.
                                  There are some that perform simplified
                                  analysis of most of the parameters you
                                  are looking for, but none do it all
                                  right (that I’m aware of). Some of the
                                  European codes are getting close, for
                                  example ESPr and/or IES/VE, but each
                                  has its limitations.</span></div>
                              <div style="line-height: normal; margin:

                                  font-size: 12pt;">To estimate the
                                  thermal analysis with Visual DOE
                                  (i.e., DOE-2.1e) or EQUEST (i.e.,
                                  DOE-2.2) you’d need to have at least
                                  one zone that is conditioned in order
                                  to simulate conditions in an
                                  unconditioned space. So, although it
                                  is possible to perform such a
                                  simulation, you have to go to great
                                  lengths to do this with canned
                                  simulations such as DOE-2.1e and
                                  DOE-2.2. One successful project that
                                  did this for a Buddhist temple was

                                  that should be accurate for and
                                  sidelights if you know the internal
                                  geometry, including surface
                                  characteristics, since they use the

                                  daylighting simulations can be done
                                  with RADIANCE or annual simulations

                                  font-size: 12pt;">Third, true
                                  calculations of thermal comfort would
                                  require CFD and a internal radiation
                                  network (should interior surfaces get

                                  things.</span></div>

                                  the literature that give solid advice
                                  on how to do this, probably more as

                                  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>
                                  Regards,<br>

                                  <div>Hello Rathmashree,</div>
                                  <div> </div>
                                  <div>I suggest you use CODYRUN. Is a
                                    french software dedicated to both
                                    research and consulting firms. You
                                    can make the 3 studies (Energy
                                    simulation, Daylight and thermal
                                    confort).that you want at the same
                                    time. For more information about
                                    this software, you can write to 
                                    Professor Harry Boyer (Founder of
                                    the software) to this mail : <a
