Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] envelope light and heavy wall - Energy+ vs Doe 2.1

[Drury.Crawley@xxxxxxxxxx]

I would also look at our testing reports on the web site as they include
testing (where available) for DOE.2.1E as well:

http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/testing.html

EnergyPlus does a heat balance--DOE-2.1E does not.  DOE-2.1E
does not deal with loads not met.
