[bldg-sim] Modeling curtainwall spandrel cavities - ENERGY10 (and others)

Hello all,

I'm working on my Ph.D. at the University of Toronto.  I'm a specialist in building science and my research is focusing on curtain walls.

My goal is to model a curtain wall spandrel cavity in order to obtain such info such as (i) cavity air temps (ii) material surface temps (iii) temperature lags (thermal mass) (iv) day gain versus night loss , etc.  Currently, I'm using ENERGY10 with some success.  Since this program generally focuses on whole buildings, I'm inputting my cavity as a very small 'whole' building.  I think ENERGY10 will limit me to general trends and not be able to give and specifics further down the road.

My question...can anyone suggest some other programs to model such a cavity.  

Thanks,
russ
