Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] User Interface



				Two corrections ... 

				the 'as-yet unnamed tool' from Taitem
Engineering
				is not a residential interface but
completely
				new interface for COMMERCIAL buildings.

				the 'as-yet unnamed tool' from Geopraxis is 
				Green Building Studio and is available for
				beta testing on their web site:
http://www.greenbuildingstudio.com/

				When our updated web site goes live
(hopefully this
				week), up-to-date information on interfaces
is included.

				As of December 2003, this is the current
status of EnergyPlus interface development:

				-- Ecotect
				Ecotect is a conceptual design tool with a
3-D design interface which can export to EnergyPlus format.

<http://www.squ1.com/ecotect/ecotect-home.html>

				-- DesignBuilder,   
				DesignBuilder is a software tool for
assessing and creating building designs.  The EnergyPlus module provides
access to most of the EnergyPlus fabric, ventilation, lighting and solar
modelling capabilities. Heating and cooling loads can be easily modelled
using the "purchased air" system type, or you can enter your own EnergyPlus
script to access more advanced HVAC modelling capabilities.   In beta...
available upon request

				-- DrawBDL 
				Originally written for viewing building
geometry in DOE-2 input files that can now convert the building geometry
portion of DOE-2 input files to EnergyPlus format

				http://www.drawbdl.com/
<http://www.drawbdl.com/>

				-- TSe+Mat and TSe+Glz
				TSe+Mat manages the material inputs for 
EnergyPlus.  TSe+Glz allows the users to create/edit and manage the
glass/gas/blinds/shade component properties of windows and their
construction. Users can export the selected component/construction into an
IDF compliant format, for use in an E+ input file conveniently.

				-- EnergyGauge from FSEC
				EnergyGauge allows simple yet detailed
performance-based analysis of building energy use and economic analysis of
proposed energy improvements. EnergyPlus running from EnergyGauge input was
demonstrated in January 2003 and is expected to be available in 2004.

				-- as yet unnamed tool
				Funded to extend TREAT into indoor air
quality/natural ventilation for residential buildings.  From web site:  "We
are developing a graphical user interface for the U.S. Department of
Energy's new EnergyPlus program.  Available in 2004."
