[Bldg-sim] Building Energy Modeling Guidelines

[Ioannis Rizos]

I love this topic.

In addition to all previously mentioned guidelines and protocols, please add GreenStar (Australia, South Africa and now Ghana) energy modelling protocol on the list.

http://www.gbcsa.org.za/docs/greenstar/GSSA_Office_v1_Energy_Guide_20100701.pdf the protocol for SA.

Subject: Re: [Bldg-sim] Building Energy Modeling Guidelines

Concerning the question of the number of building energy
modelers, one indication may be how many people subscribe to
various mailing lists:

BLDG-SIM - 2307 members
eQUEST-users - 1821 members
EnergyPlus_Support - 3079 members
TRNSYS-users - 1311 members
EPS-r mailing list - about 500 members

I believe these are the email lists related to BEM with the
most subscribers.

Of course not every modeler subscribes to a mailing list and
some modelers subscribe to multiple mailing lists so trying
to draw a conclusion about the number of modelers may be
difficult.
