has been in beta for some time. We will release that new version when we are
confident it can be used in production work in place of DOE-2.2. A version of
eQUEST that fully supports DOE-2.3 that will be released at the same time.
DOE-2.2 is also still under development, but we tend to implement all major new
features in DOE-2.3 rather than DOE-2.2. We expect to release an update to both
eQUEST and DOE-2.2 soon with DOE-2.3 and its eQUEST version later. The DOE-2.2
refrigeration version development continues, however more priority has been
placed on DOE-2.3 recently; however, we will also release an update to that
application as well and we consider that version an important product to
continue to upgrade well into the future.</FONT></SPAN></P>

face=Calibri>I am not sure why rumors of the impending death of DOE-2, that
started in the late 1990’s, continue to persist since the evidence for the past
fifteen years should have proven those rumors wrong. Similarly, the rumors about
the death of eQUEST that have appeared more recently can be also similarly be
ignored as completely false. The real history shows that our DOE-2 and eQUEST
products have proven to have more funding and longevity “legs’ than any other
existing similar software. While other development groups struggle to advance
one simulation program or one user interface we have shown that our group can do
both the engine and interface with major advances to both for decades and as
freeware. I see no change coming in our ability to continue the upgrade of both
in the current decade. </FONT></SPAN></P>

they can claim to be offering the simulation community the mature, stable,

developer to claim their product can do amazing things than it is for the user
community to realize those possible gains while maintaining the ability to
deliver services to their clients competitively in a timely manner. We plan to
do our best to continue to offer you products that allow you to perform your job

continued support, patience and generally good vibes. We also ask that you

<P class=MsoNormal><BR>Jeff,<BR>I am working on a LEED compliance building model
in eQUEST, and have to ask you a question. So I created a building that has zero
insulation, standard lighting watts/sqft and ran the compliance analysis. The
building that is not at code energy costs are in the sixty thousand range, and
the 0,90,180,270 average that should be at code is in the ninty thousand
range.This %30 savings for the building that has zero insulation over the
building that has been auto generated to be complaint with ASHRAE/LEED shows
that for some reason the building that is not at code (zero insulation) uses 30%
less then the building that is suppose to be at code, and I am sure that the
software is wrong.<BR><BR>Now I have read the PDF published on the subject, and
am very curios if the<BR>compliance analysis tool is something that you believe
to work correctly?<BR>(I would be happy to find out I made some error, but can
not find any such<BR>errors on my part, and someone told me that the tool does
not work so I<BR>doubt it is error on my part)<BR><BR><SPAN
