Dear BLDG-SIM Members, 

As part of my PhD research I am conducting a research about Architects 
Friendly Building Energy Simulation Tools (BESTs), so that we can improve 
the future development of simulation tools. Therefore the survey is 
dedicated to gather information from beginner simulation tools users. 

First of all, I am asking you please to take the survey and secondly, to 
spread this survey to any to other simulation tools users who meet the 
criteria mentioned below: 

1-Architects or 2-Designers or 3-Graduate students or 4-Beginner Users who 
use simulation tools to create sustainable architecture in the USA 

The survey has 22 questions and the duration is 10-15 minutes. The 
compared tools are: 

ECOTECT, HEED, Energy 10, Design Builder, eQUEST, DOE-2, Green Design 
Studio, IES VE, Energy Plus and Energy Plus-Sketchup Plugin. 

You can access the survey via:

and if if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. 

Best regards, 

Shady Attia |PhD Student| ARCHITECTURE ET CLIMAT| BELGIUM 

PS: you can also send me a mailing list and I will send the invitations.
