Does anyone know if USGBC keeps a list of "qualified" energy modeling tools
for LEED NC certification?

Thanks!

Is TRNSYS a qualified tool? I am not quite sure how TRNSYS handles building
geometry.

Thanks

I asked a question on the eQUEST forum a while back by accident (meant to ask it here) and got no response.

Has anyone successfully completed a LEED project with IES? It seems to meet all the requirements of Appendix G, but I have never heard of anyone successfully using it.

Thanks,

We are considering using IES but it doesn't appear to be able to
generate a detailed output like eQuest does. Our firm has been using
eQuest for some time now and have submitted for 20+/- jobs using it.
