[Bldg-sim] IES-VE Energy

[Leonard Sciarra]

Varkie,

There are two versions of VE-ware one for revit and one for sketchup.
Go to the IES website and at the top find the revit pull down menu to
find the correct download.

I have been asked by an ME/AE firm to check out IES-VE Energy.  This
firm makes extensive use of the Revit programs for design.

I downloaded the trial version of  'IES-VE-Ware/Toolkits 5.9 Setup' and
tried to run/install it and I got the following message:  "You require
an installation of Google Stetchup 6, etc., to install VE-Ware"

I downloaded 'IES<VE>5.9 SketchUp Plug-in Setup' and tried to install
this and got the following message:  "You must have a copy of
IES<Virtual Environment>5.9 installed before attempting to install this
plug-in"

I am interested in trying out IES-VE Energy component only.  Is there a
trial version for this?  Is there a tutorial that I can refer to when
trying to learn how to use this program?

The IES-VE website shows 2 engineering clients - Syska Hennessy and
Vanderweil Engineering.  How many building projects have been analyzed
with IES-VE for energy performance by US AE firms?  

Why use IES-VE-Energy when DOE2.1E and eQUEST are free and TRACE and HAP
are inexpensive with excellent customer support?

Is there statistical data by type & size of project, on the energy
programs used in the US for code compliance and LEED certification?
