I have asked Trane to comment on ED / VIP because Trane makes one of the best energy analysis software. Rest assured they do not care what one uses as long as you spec or accept a Trane. I am extremely interested on mining data from AC but the way things are ED error margin based on the presented info on this blog is inacceptable.What makes you sure that Trace700 is so accurate? How accurate is any energy analysis software? How do you know that any of the figures you are inputting are accurate. They are all based on averages and assumptions anyway. Therefore any figures produced will have the same margin of error. There is too much variation in real life to be 100% modelled by a computer!

(Equivalently, that error rate might say that I would see an increase in energy of up to 10% even if I put in better windows ... which would not exactly guide the decision-making process.)

We typically use eQuest, as it is probably the most universal and accepted software in the US.eQuest the simplest ?? mmm not accordg to the above user it seemsHowever, there's quite a learning curve, and you have to do some research on materials to understand the choices. It may be more than you are looking for.
