Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Which software to use?





Alex, 
If I where you I might opt for open studio, or design builder (possibly start with the free trial)
eQuest is to easy, and TRNSYS is to time consuming in my experience, but I have not yet explored IES VE to the point that I can advise.. (if you do please let me know your experience) Question, what are you looking to simulate?

Good morning,
I may be asking this in a 'biased' forum, but hopefully many of you will be familiar with more than one simulation package.
I know very little about building simulation programs and would like to learn use one of them for a thesis project.
If you were to start afresh, would you recommend me I learn to use EnergyPlus or another package? (IES-VE comes to mind).
I know how to use Sketchup quite well.

Thank you for your advice, much appreciated.
regards

Alex
