</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I'm working on a project and need to do some early schematic energy modeling for early design decisions regarding envelope components, orientation, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">At this point, there is a basic footprint and general space layout but very little detail. And it is very likely that the floor plans will change significantly between now and final design documents.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I'm wondering if anyone has any tools or recommendations for doing early schematic energy modeling like this?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
