Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] [Survey] Towards Architects Friendly Simulation Tools

[Philip Haves <phaves@xxxxxxx>]

Shady,

I'd be very interested in discussing preliminary results of your survey 
with you, wearing both with my EnergyPlus developer hat and my ASHRAE 
TC4.7 Chair hat.  Are you in College Station or in Europe?  Who's your 
advisor - Prof Haberl?

Thanks,

Phil
