[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Equipment efficiencies according to ASHRAE
Mr. Dirkes is an "encyclopaedic" expert and I am a beginner, but I appreciate this online community too! I think that I am learning a lot thanks to you. Regards

BEMBOOK has been around for a while, but has recently become a wiki and the hope is that it will get a lot of helpful content from the many energy modelers around North America and beyond.

It seems that I'll have to learn German in order to use it fully, however! (That could be a problem for me, since 60 year olds generally have less language facility :()

That's another breaking development that may make our lives as energy modelers better informed!

When I need to learn about one of those topics, you can be sure that I'll be asking for your personal notes! I am greatly heartened by the clear goal for excellence that is routinely demonstrated by many of you and am very pleased and proud to be part of this online community!
