HVAC Performance Comparison

Hey everyone,

I'm a software engineer that is starting to think about building a house, and my research into the subject of the best HVAC system for my house brought me here. I tried figuring out what HVAC system would be most cost effective in my future home, and so far I understood that it is a complex question with a lot of variables to consider.

I'm wondering if you could recommend any materials for someone who is a Building Energy Modelling newcomer, but who would like to understand how I could model different setups for my future house? Any reading materials that could help uunderstand this subject, or any tools that might be helpful. So far I stumbled upon OpenStudio which looks like the tool that might help me out, but I get a bit lost around the building library components.

Thanks in advance for your help!
