RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Best EPlus interface for UFAD (LEED certification)

["Kwang Ho Lee" <kwhlee@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 As far as I can tell, we are developing a UFAD interface for our CBE
partners but it is currently in transition...but to our knowledge there are
no other tools available other than using the example file...Taking a look
at our website might help in some small way. We held a workshop on our CBE
UFAD toolkit in last October. Our website is:
 www.cbe.berkeley.edu
