Have you tried asking DesignBuilder or Hevacomp for an underfloor sample? Most packages come with some 'pre-cooked' examples and these guys may have one. I'd also hope they'd be able to advise you on the best way to tackle your problem using their package. Just a thought, David. --- In EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "ritwik31" <ritwik31@...> wrote:Hello, I am completely new to EnergyPlus. We typically use DOE-2 for energy simulations, but we now need to model a building with underfloor air distribution for LEED certification. From what I've found out, EnergyPlus is the best program for it, but I think the freeware "text input/output" version is far too complicated for me. What would you consider the best user interface software out there for UFAD? I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, but I did search this message board and couldn't find it. I've heard about Design Builder, Hevacomp and a few others from EPlus' website, but I'm confused as to which one I should go for. I'm also quite interested in the Open Studio Plugin for Sketchup since it's free, and was hoping to know about experiences of using it, especially it's limitations. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
