[BLDG-SIM] Simulation tools for energy audits

[Jeff Haberl]

There is the NIST life cycle software. From NIST.

 You can also get a spreadsheet from our lab that allows one to calc the life cycle eqs in the ASHRAE  handbook, this is listed in the on-line publications, or contact me.

Subject: [BLDG-SIM] Simulation tools for energy audits

Does anyone have experience in using one of the building simulation tools for 
commercial/institutional energy audits?  I am looking for software to assist 
mainly in evaluating the economics of various energy efficiency measures such as 
boiler upgrades, insulation, window replacements, controls, etc.  The building 
types are generally churches, schools, office/retail, multi-family.  Also 
looking for software to assist in utility bill analysis, but that may not be in 
this sector.  

Would appreciate your thoughts about the applicability of any of the DOE or 3rd 
party tools.  Thanks for any input you might have.
