[Bldg-sim] Energy Modeling wish-list

[Dr. Nader Chalfoun]

Thank you Karen,

I am sure my students and I will soon fill this wishlist.  I will
consolidate our ideas and proof-read before posting.

Great idea, thank you

Nader

> Hi All,

> Sorry for the multiple postings:

> On the eQuest list-serve right now we're developing a wish-list of things we
> wish the program could do, but doesn't.  It occurred to me that we should
> start a master list of things that most programs can't do, or don't do well,
> and make this info available to people developing modeling programs.
>
> I'll volunteer to keep a list.  Please send me:
>
> 1.  your wishlist: proof-read please!  Please fully describe your wishes so
> that anyone coming from any simulation program can understand.  Please
> create three categories of comments:
>
>             General: these requrests should be regarding navigation, ease of
> use, and general program set-up
>             Specific: these requests should be regarding program calculation
> abilities, libraries, etc.
>             Functionality: Please describe any attributes of a program you
> use now that you find important or extremely useful
>             Contact:  Please let me know if it's ok to put your name and
> email address next to your comments.  This way if anyone reads your comment
> and finds it useful or has more questions, they can contact you!
>
> 2.  If you are a program developer, please send me your contact info so that
> I can send you the master list when I'm finished.
>
> Hopefully if we can get a comprehensive list together, we'll get some much
> needed functionality in the new programs coming out.
>
> Feel free to send this on to other simulation list-serves
