[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Thoughts for the Energy Modeling Community

["jipp06" <jippnojunk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your post. Helped me grasp some more of the knowledge/thinking behind e-sim.

About your comment: "So, I am posting it in hopes that some of you benefit from my experience."

Thank you very much for sharing these lessons learned.
I totally agree. We have a much greater capabalitiy to share and collaborate nowadays, especially with the Web2.0. Let's all use this to contribute.

I am somewhat new to E+ and take more than I give to these forums but I help when I can.
