Openstudio is a suite of applications, one of which is the sketchup plugin that is used to create the geometry.
You can use it with sketchup make which is free.
Then you have the openstudio app, where you create the rest of the model, and a couple other apps (PAT for parametric analysis, Results viewer to look at time series). Last but not least openstudio has an API: you can leverage the power of scripting to modify your model or test ECMs, etc.
EQuest uses DOE-2 not energyplus.

Hi Julien,
Thank you for your reply. Seems OpenStudio is usually used with Google Sketchup. How effective is it as a standalone program? I am also considering eQuest. Of these two, which one is easier to use when it comes to load calculation and equipment sizing? I had some experience with the Carrier HAP software and would like to have a free/low cost replacement.
Best regards,
Yanhui
