Equest may not be very helpful here.  You can 
always use EE4 - a simple interface to DOE2.1e 
that allows full input in metric and converts to 
imperial for running the model.  I find that EE4 
will give just as accurate an answer a equest for 
over 90% of the building simulation problems I face.  Get it at:

Note that EE4 generates the Budget Case for the 
MNECB but not for ASHRAE 90.1.  As with equest, 
you will have to create your own Budget case.
