[Bldg-sim] Cold Storage

[Hussein Abaza]

I thin k E-plus is your best fit. I don't think E-quest can do it because the minimum indoor temp can not be set below 55F. I have done something similar before in E-Plus and it worked fine.

This question has been asked before, but I can't actually find an answer 
anywhere. 

The question is basically what simulation tool can be used to model cold 
storage? 

A supermarket is a good example of cold storage. I have read that 
EnergyPlus has numerous features to model supermarkets, including cold 
racks and lots more. But I have also read that EnergyPlus is 
text-input-only and a graphical user interface is advisable. 

I have never used EnergyPlus. I have used EnergyPro and E-Quest. 

Do any of you EnergyPlus gurus out there recommend EnergyPlus for 
supermarkets and further do you recommend a graphical interface? 


Your thoughts are appreciated.
