Just read the article this morning on the train.

Most of the recommendated tools are decades old and not supported any
more by anyone.

I believe engineers that really use building energy simulations would
give a totally different list.

Try the following if that URL is too long:

Here are the 10 tools they recommended:

FLEX
LTGSTD ASHRAE 90.1
SuperLight
ProjectKalc
ComCheck-Plus
SkyCalc
Radiance
EQuest
PVWatts
ASEAM

A second opinion in a sidebar by Bion Howard suggested:

Energy-10
EnergyPlus
DOE-2.1 or 2.2
BLAST

I'm interested if the readers of BDLG-SIM would come to the 
same recommendations.
