Hello

I could give you a brief idea of how one could model a building. Its 
seems you would just need to model the building envelope .
what you would need to do is open up Eplus Launch , click on Idf 
Editor and browse and open the ExampleFile 1ZoneUncontrolled.idf, ( 
located in the Example files folder ) see the fields that have been 
entered in that file , it is a very simple input file . Click on  
drawing file on EpLaunch and view the building for the idf , you will 
get a very good idea of the building being modeled. This should get 
your started. I am sure it will be very easy.

Thanks
