ones) can be created within a couple of hours by tracing ACAD drawings. But on
large project you cannot recognize any of the components names in the reports.
The DOE2 programs require a component name before entering the data. eQ should
make this a priority in future versions. I think I will continue creating the
building model in eQ and use the dimensional data in eQ (azimuths, coordinates,
lengths, areas, etc) in creating DOE21E models and analyze the options in
DOE21E. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
