eQuest for Controlled Environment Agriculture

Before deciding on eQuest as my energy model software and proceeding with training, I need to know if the software will meet my immediate needs.

In addition to usual building modeling, we want to model applications with varying internal moisture gains, such as in a Controlled Environment Agriculture facility, where crop transpiration (and its evaporative cooling) increase slowly, over an 8-12 week period, as the crop matures. This 8-12 week period will repeat continuously over the year.

Can the eQuest software meet these requirements?
