In terms of the SI units, John is correct - the version of DOE-2.2 bundled within eQUEST (& CALENER) can in fact handle SI units, but there are several SI-related issues related to eQUEST that have not yet been dealt with, which is why there is not yet an SI version of eQUEST available.
CALENER is designed to accept only SI inputs, contains no building creation wizards and utilizes a results review module developed in Spain (replacing the one in eQUEST). I believe that a custom library of building components was developed for use with CALENER and is not simply a translation of the libraries that come with eQUEST. The CALENER tabbed dialog interface (providing access to the DOE-2.2 BDL commands & keywords) have been both translated into Spanish and modified to hide many simulation keywords and collect certain new, non-simulation keywords that, through BDL expressions and/or their compliance ruleset, are referenced to populate the keywords used by the simulation engine.

Dear Samuel, I have taken several eQuest classes in Southern California, USA from Marlin Addison, a major developer of eQuest(Marlin.Addison@xxxxxxxx, I believe). He has mentioned the CALENER program several times. I am lead to believe it is an eQuest type of program. But contact Marlin for developmental details. I continue to be amazed as to how international DOE2 has gone. By the way, DOE-2.1E could ALWAYS do Metric Units, and I believe DOE-2.2 is the same. DOE-2.2 is the "engine" for eQuest, you may already know. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam? Yahoo!
