[bldg-sim] Hel in using Energy Plus

[Maurizio Sorce]

Dear users,

I'm a new user of Energy Plus and I'm prooving to use the DesignBuilder Beta 
Version Interface. I'm not sure if I have to buy the interface yet, because 
of different causes:

a) I need to draw boundary walls. In TRNSYS there is a specific type of wall 
that allows that. So, if I have to simulate a single zone of a whole 
building, can I separe it with a boundary wall and specific the boundary 
temperature.

b) Is it possible to draw perimetral walls of different tickness?

c) Can I consider thermal bridges? How?

d) Can I use Design Builder to generate a file and only after to modify it 
directly in Energy Plus?

e) Have you another different (from Design Builder) and simple solution to 
use Energy Plus?

Is there someone who can help me? Thank's to all,
