RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] wondering if EnergyPlus is usable for single house projects





EPlus can do all you quoted in your email below.
 
Whether you can use it or not depends on how much time you need to learn it, and your back ground knowledge on HVAC and programming.
 
I use EPlus to design and evaluate heating of houses in Malaysia and Singapore without using air conditioning.  To me retrofit a building is to use external shading, ventilation, etc.
and not by using window air-con units, etc.

My other reply was written before I saw your original mail.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] wondering if EnergyPlus is usable for single house projects

 
Hello,

I am a beginer of EnergyPlus and wondering if I can use EnergyPlus for a single family detached house without having much problems.

crawl space, wooden frame structure, huge infiltration, individual A/C heat pump units, non-US weather condition

these are features I am thinking to deal with for retrofit projects.

I would appreciate your recommendation and suggestion whether I should go with E+ or not.

Thank you very much,
