[Equest-users] 20 years of BLDG-SIM

Fri Mar 8 05:29:31 PST 2019

Yes, time flies like an arrow but fruit flies like bananas.

I began my modeling journey in the fall of 1994. I was given a rolling ruler, a tape measure and a clip board to audit a small commercial building. Having gathered the building information, I went back to the office and opened the DOE2 Basics, fired up the old 8086 DOS box and started typing. We were using Acrosoft DOE2.1e and Brief for the text editor. I still program my text editor to use the Brief keystroke short cuts. The 40 MB hard drive filled up pretty quickly. Upgrading cost $1 per MB – a 350 MB hard drive cost $350.

I was very grateful when I discovered DrawBDL for debugging the geometry – thanks to Joe!

Wow, has it been twenty years already?  It doesn't feel like it.  I still remember a time back then when there was an informal meeting about the future of building energy simulation programs at the ACEEE Conference, probably in the late 80's or early 90's.  Jeff Haberl looked at me and said that the DOE-2 Group should have a  Home Page.  I looked back at Jeff and asked, "what's a  'home page'" ?
