[EnergyPlus_Support] Some general EnergyPlus questions from a prospective user

["tiya23" <ahasan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I have a few questions regarding EnergyPlus.  

1)  Does the program allow for importing BIM information, created in 
REVIT or a similar program, into the energy model?

2) In your expert opinion, which is the best of the graphical interface 
programs available to use with EnergyPlus?

3) What advantages/disadvantages does EnergyPlus have in relation to 
IES's "Virtual Environment" software, which integrates energy modeling 
software and other simulation tools with AutoCAD/REVIT?

Thanks for your help.
