Hi Anne Marie,<br>
<br>
Anything you create in EE4 (chiller, utility rate, HVAC system, wall
type etc) goes to the project library (which is specific to that
project). When you start a new project, EE4 takes a copy of the
default library and makes it the project library. You can copy any
element in any of the libraries to the default library so it will be
there in the project library next time you create a project. You
can also open multiple files within EE4 and then you can copy any
element from the library of one file to the other file.<br>
<br>
Regarding work arounds & "gotchas", the EE4 modelling guide is a
pretty good guideline on using the software with descriptions of the
common workarounds. (I can send as a .pdf if you do not have a
copy.) There is also an EE4 FAQ webpage with more recent "issues"
documented ... it is here: <br>

<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
<br>
There is an EE4 training session on Oct 18 & 19 ... but sadly,
it is in Mississauga, ON. There is EE4 training in Vancouver from
time to time. I would suggest contacting Curt Hepting of EnerSys or
Shaun Martin in Vancouver. They are the closest experts to you I
know.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone provide some general watch-its,
best practices, or commonly-used workarounds for EE4? We are
embarking on using EE4 for building energy modeling and are
just getting to know the software. It looks to me like there
isn’t any ability to create templates like there is in eQuest
or Trace, to speed up building the model and modifying
standard components. Has anyone found any work-arounds for
entering, or modifying, repetitive data?<o:p></o:p></p>
