[BLDG-SIM] Building Simulation Software???

[Jason Glazer]

Stirling,

DOE-2 is a text based program that has had several user 
interfaces added to it. I know that people have used it for 
LEED certification. You can see who sells DOE-2 and the 
different interfaces at:

http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/dirsoft/d2vendors.html

To see a list of many different energy simulation tools, go 
to:

http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/tools_directory/

and look under "energy simulation" under "whole building 
analysis"
