[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Why cannot Energeplus replace DOE2 in the field?

["mingming_zuo" <mingming_zuo@xxxxxxxxx>]

The speed problem may arise mainly from simultanious simulation of Building, system and plant.As for node and loop connections, it becomes easy and comfortable to construct a complex model once you have been familiar with model construction process and its methodology, and practical expericence is very valuable. As for me, two years or more spent with E+, I think it is worth my time and a great forture for someone like me devoted in this fields.
