Please respond to

I am interested in comments and recommendations as to which energy
simulation programs would be most appropriate for modeling passive solar
buildings (heating especially, but I'm interested in passive
cooling/ventilation too). I would really appreciate any references to
technical papers or case studies that deal with this topic too.
Thank you in advance for your input.
