[BLDG-SIM] Spread the word about BLDG-SIM

I happened to be at the Building Energy Software Tools Directory 
today and noticed that DOE-2, Trace and HAP have about 8,000 
users all together.  The BLDG-SIM mailing list goes out to 350 
people.  That is only 4%!  That means that 96% of the users may 
still have questions about where to get weather data files or how 
to simulate something unusual in DOE-2.  Can we try to help these 
poor people out?   The first step is to let them know about the 
BLDG-SIM mailing list.  If you know of other people that use 
building energy simulation software, could you please e-mail them 
and tell them about the mailing list.  The description of the 
mailing list from the web site is shown at the end of the e-mail.

Thanks for spreading the word,

Jason

---------------------------------------------- 

BLDG-SIM is a mailing list for users of building energy 
simulation programs. Building energy simulation programs allow 
users to estimate the energy use and operating cost of 
residential, commercial and other types of buildings. This allows 
engineers, architects and others in the building design trade to 
compare alternative designs and select the design that is cost 
justified. They are frequently used during the design process 
when choosing between alternatives in the components that make up 
a building including insulation level, heating and cooling 
distribution systems, furnaces, boilers and air conditioning 
equipment. The web page for this mailing list is located at:

Examples of building simulation programs include DOE-2, Trace-
600, HAP, Blast, ESP, SERIRES, TRNSYS, TASE, Energy-10, and 
others (see link below for a more complete list).

Since the users of building energy simulation programs are spread 
across the world, this mailing list is an attempt to foster the 
development of a community of those users. Experienced and 
inexperienced users of building energy simulation programs are 
welcome and are expected to share their questions and insights  
about these programs.
