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:
http://www.gard.com/ml/bldg-sim.htm
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.
