Vrushali,
Designbuilder includes E+ version 2.2.x. In your
installation you should find a subfolder under program Files > DesignBuilder
entitled EnergyPlus.
We were told that E+ 3.0 will not work
with Designbuilder at the present time.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] A question about Design Builder and EnergyPlus
Hi,
I have been trying to use the free trial version of Design Builder for modeling a building. I also have the latest version of EnergyPlus (v3.0) installed. However, every time I hit 'simulate', Design Builder tells me that EnergyPlus has expired. I looked up the help on Design Builder and it seems that it works best with EnergyPlus v2.0 though you can pick the version you want it to use. I haven't been able to get Design Builder to use v3.0. I am wondering if it is an issue with the trial version of Design Builder or if there is a way I can get it to work with v3.0 or if there is a place where I can find EnergyPlus v2.0.
Thanks.
