Dear Paulo,<div><br></div><div>You may want to take a look at DesignBuilder. It is a program that I have started to use and am quite happy with its effective graphic user interface as well as its visual delivery of results. It uses DOE's Energy+ program in its algorithms which is a well established software on its own. There is a month long free trial plus helpful online tutorials on how to use the program's features. </div>
<div>Perhaps spending some time on this program may help you get a better feel on what the advantages and limitations of these simulations are.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Ali Yaras</div><div>

Dear Forum<br><br>My name is Paulo Nascimento and I'm a brazilian electrical engineer very interested in Energy Efficiency in Buildings, mainly in Building Simulation. <br><br>I'd like to know if anyone could indicate to me a beginner-intermediate level book about Building Simulation.<br>
