eQUEST would allow you to quickly build buildings using the Schematic Design
Wizard.  The Schematic Design Wizard has good defaults for many building
types.  Depending on the accuracy you want initially, you could build one
large building very quickly or you could build several models of future
buildings and import them all into a single model for the central plant
analysis.  This second option would also allow you to update the model as
further information became available.
 
If you have the first phase ready to model, you could do that with a
multiplier, or add Schematic Design models of future buildings.

Hello, 

Can anyone recommend software that allows fairly rapid analysis of energy
trade-offs between central plant equipment and configurations, when the
buildings to be served and loads are still speculative?  This is for a
campus that will be built in phases over many years, and most buildings are
only loosely defined. DOE-2 will be more difficult and detailed than
warranted. 

Thank you for your input.
