RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Best Model builder - Geometry, Construct ions, profiles
Mike,
Thanks for your reply. It seems strange that no software developer has not
jumped at the opportunity of putting a front end on this software and
marketing it as the complete building simulation tool. The use of simulation
is becoming more and more widespread in Europe, so I am surprised that no
one here has taken up the cause. What validation has been done on Energy
plus, and is it being used commercially (i.e. by HVAC professionals) in the
US?
Thank you very much.
Damien

There are no user interface programs available yet for EnergyPlus.
Several private software firms have indicated interest in developing
interfaces, but there have been no official product announcements.
Currently available input tools distributed with EnergyPlus include
an IFC CAD file translator for describing building surfaces, and the
IDF Editor which assists users with object syntax. For more
information on the capabilites of the IFC translator, see
EnergyPlus\PreProcess\IFCtoIDF\IFCtoIDF_User_Manual.pdf in your
EnergyPlus install directory.
