You can try "Visual-DOE" available at www.eley.com.  I haven't done it before, but I'll be doing it soon.

General question for the list:   

 

What is the latest progress and developments on the subject of integrating architectural CAD drawings of building shell into hourly energy modeling programs like DOE2 or EPlus?

 

Are there software interfaces out there that have gotten this down to a usable product, or are we still a few years out?

What are the obstacles to implementing this?  Any success stories that people care to share?  Any specific products that people have used?

 

Thanks!

Sincerely,
