Is anybody interested in dueling software? My idea (and I'm sure
it's been done before)...<br>
<br>
We define an easy building and everybody models it in whatever they
own and we compare the results.<br>
<br>
Sound like fun?<br>

<div>I would agree with Cheney here. The wizards available in
eQuest will allow you to create and simulate typical buildings
and various scenarios relatively quickly and easily and with a
good level of confidence. The documentation which accompanies
the eQuest download contains very useful reference and guidance
documentation.</div>

<div>I do not think it is a good idea for a beginner to start
with Energy Plus. Bear in mind, it is not so user friendly.
Even a senior energy modeler may not be able to grasp it
easily. Equest is more strait-forward to my mind.

My advise to Alex is to start with Energy Plus, as it
has the most development put into it and the mose
capabilities.
<div>Also Open studio has some great information as to
where to start.
