<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">AECOsim Energy Simulator currently allows user to import HVAC systems from IDFs to start building their HVAC models. We will be implementing more importing capabilities over the next months. Users have the option
of starting with one of the 28 preconfigured HVAC systems in AES and modifying those to match their system configuration. These preconfigured HVAC systems give users access to all the EnergyPlus inputs required for each system. Users can also create their
own systems and save them for future use.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

HVAC system); 2-D (import floor plans – DGN, DWG, DXF, define rooms); and gbXML (import 3-D model, attribute spaces).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
