[Bldg-sim] "Qualified" energy modeling tools for LEED NC v2.2

[Brian Tysoe]

I asked a question on the eQUEST forum a while back by accident (meant to ask it here) and got no response.

Has anyone successfully completed a LEED project with IES<VE>? It seems to meet all the requirements of Appendix G, but I have never heard of anyone successfully using it.

Thanks,

We have successfully completed a number of LEED projects using TRNSYS.

Is TRNSYS a qualified tool? I am not quite sure how TRNSYS handles building geometry.

Thanks

Does anyone know if USGBC keeps a list of "qualified" energy modeling tools for LEED NC certification?



Thanks!
