Seeking Example Energy Models for a Building Sizes and Types

I'm interested in using eQuest to analyze energy savings from specific HVAC efficiency measures (such as DCV, efficient chillers, etc), but without building a detailed each time.

Ideally I'd just use eQuest defaults to simulate a building of similar size to the one where the measure is proposed, but to figure out if this is a safe approach I need to perform my analysis under a range of assumptions. So I'd like simulate measures in a range of different building models-- i.e. different sizes and types.

Kristin Field has posted earlier this year regarding DOE Commercial Building Benchmark Energy Models--

http://lists.onebuilding.org/pipermail/bldg-sim-onebuilding.org/2010-March/021070.html

These are exactly the sort of thing I could use EXCEPT that they are written in EnergyPlus, rather than eQuest.

I gather there is not a tool to convert from EnergyPlus to eQuest, so I'm wondering if anyone has converted these to eQuest or whether there are any other sources of comparable models that someone would be willing to share?

Thanks for your help.
