I think the OpenStudio would be a good choice. It's free and easy to 
use. The web site:

what EnergyPlus is worst at, there are a lot of user friendly graphic 
interfaces, some of them free and some of them you can purchase. 
Through them you will design your buildings. This is what I suggest 
you to do. And then you should focus in Energy Plus for the various 
installations that you can find in buildings. Via EnergyPlus you can 
model almost everything.
