    Thanks Krishnan<br>
    <br>
    UK building codes are problematic for developers - software has to
    be third party accredited, but virtually all the government funding
    to accomplish this has been withdrawn. It's 'De facto' closed to new
    applicants.<br>
    <br>
    On the other hand, very interested in E+ capabilities, SI unit
    support is reassuring and the core/ perimeter zoning sounds helpful.
    <br>
    <br>
    Can I export to Energyplus stand-alone with 2016? What if I want to
    do something weird that gbs doesn't support?<br>
    <br>
    Kind regards<br>
    <br>
    Chris<br>

                <div>Dear all</div>

                </div>
                <div>Does anybody on this list use greenbuilding studio?</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>We're revit users, but based in the UK. Autodesk
                  gave us a bit of a hard sell on using gbs for our
                  energy analysis. </div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>It was completely unsuitable for us, mainly due to
                  localisation:</div>
                <ul>
                  <li>uk licenced weather data (yes, we pay for it
                    here!)</li>
                  <li>uk building codes</li>
                  <li>No SI, only IP units, yada, yada yada</li>
                </ul>
                <div>Just wondering if anybody in the US finds it at all
                  useful???</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>many thanks</div>
