Hello all,
I just wanted to get your opinions on IES-VE vs. eQuest vs. Trace in terms of load calcs and energy modeling. Each have their pros and cons but I have only had experience on load calcs on Trane Trace and energy modeling with eQuest. I recently have been exposed to IES-VE and it seems the software can save lots of time during the input stage for energy modeling but not too sure on the load calculation. I think it would be nice if in the future, we see the two tasks merged into a software package that can master both, thanks!
