- Watch the intro videos about how Energy Plus works
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfqEXN-icQA (there are a few on you tube but this is a good starter)
- Do the intro exercises (these will give you a practical understanding
- Search for the item you want to model in the documentation that comes with Energy Plus
The attached file comes with energy plus> example files>ecoroof Orlando
- It is possible to build any facade you want in energy plus, but I am unsure what you are talking about with regards to the import.
I started with modification of IDF files to model systems rather then buildings and was able learn the basics in about a month, and got very comfortable with most functions of the software within 2 years.

Dr Li,
Could you send me the example file for the green roof (eco roof)?
Is this possible to use software to create a building facade with specific thermal characteristics, and import to E+ as an component to do energy analysis?
Thanks
Best Regards
Haibo
