Subject: [Bldg-sim] Cold Storage

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.
