Why do you still use eQuest?

What features keep you coming back to eQuest? Lets brainstorm the reasons why it is still the workhorse of the modeling community?

Why do you still use eQuest?

What features keep you coming back to eQuest? Lets Let's brainstorm the reasons why it is still the workhorse of the modeling community.

Why do you still use eQuest?What features of eQUEST make it appealing to energy modelers?

What features keep you coming back I'd like for us to eQuest? Let's get a brainstorm the reasons why it is still the workhorse list going of the various things we like about eQuest. The intent would be to remain positive and have a helpful list that developers could refer to as they continue development of next-generation modeling community.software. Many of the features listed may already be incorporated in newer modeling software (which is great!). No wrong answers, guys.

Things I like:

  • IDF file can be edited manually with text edtors
  • Spreadsheet view for nearly any component category: spaces, zones, systems, pumps, chillers, etc.
  • 3D building view with ability to color surfaces by type
