Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Energy Modeling



I just wanted to respond to #3:  I'm an architect =) and I learned E+ in 
a month and a half.  Under the direction and training of a ME, I was able
to model 12 different units in a 350 unit apartment complex and run each
under 9 different scenarios of occupancy and ventilation.  I hope that gives
you hope.  I think a mechanical engineer can learn it faster, being more familiar
with the different ways to model heating/cooling systems.

We would like to perform USA building energy simulations and are 
unsure whether to use DOE 2 or Energy Plus.  I have read that Energy 
Plus has more capabilities than DOE 2 but DOE 2 requires more 
complex input; however Energy Plus units are SI.  
1.Would it be worthwhile to learn DOE 2 at this point since has been 
around longer?
2.Is DOE 2 going to be phased out and replaced with Energy Plus at 
some point in future?
3.Is the Energy Plus learning curve faster?
4.Is there information available on comparing DOE 2 to Energy Plus?  
5.Are there going to be any future Energy Plus training sessions 
available?
6.Are there DOE 2 training sessions?
