[BLDG-SIM] Simulation tools for energy audits

[richd at comcast.net]

Does anyone have experience in using one of the building simulation tools for 
commercial/institutional energy audits?  I am looking for software to assist 
mainly in evaluating the economics of various energy efficiency measures such as 
boiler upgrades, insulation, window replacements, controls, etc.  The building 
types are generally churches, schools, office/retail, multi-family.  Also 
looking for software to assist in utility bill analysis, but that may not be in 
this sector.  

Would appreciate your thoughts about the applicability of any of the DOE or 3rd 
party tools.  Thanks for any input you might have.
