[bldg-sim] Building simulation materials

Derrick,

 

You can find brief description of the major building simulation software at the following link:

 

http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/tools_directory/

 

Also I have found the following book very useful for learning and understanding the theory and concepts of the building simulation.

 

Clarke J A (2001) Energy Simulation in Building Design (2nd Edn), Butterworth-Heinemann.

All,

 

I am a new graduate student studying energy management.  What is the best way to learn what simulation software is available?  Are there any books or websites that you all can recommend that will give a good introduction building simulation/heat load calculations and descriptions of software that is commonly used?

 

Derrick.
