[BLDG-SIM] eQuest Dbl Skin Sim

[CKTang]

If you don't have the time to learn up esp-r, you may use ies virtual 
environment that is modeled after esp-r. although not as 
comprehensive as esp-r, it provides the necessary bulk network flow 
coupled with energy simulation to give a good prediction of double 
skin.
