Equest may not be very helpful here. You can always use EE4 - a
simple interface to DOE2.1e that allows full input in metric and converts
to imperial for running the model. I find that EE4 will give just
as accurate an answer a equest for over 90% of the building simulation
problems I face. Get it at:<br><br>

<br><br>
Note that EE4 generates the Budget Case for the MNECB but not for ASHRAE
90.1. As with equest, you will have to create your own Budget
case.<br><br>

I have a job that is designed entirely in metric, including the CAD
files. Can I do the entire model in metric?<br>
