Dear all,
I like to model building energy use in an environment which does not limit me to pre-defined input data fields and keep code hidden in a black boxes. I like to have the option to go beyond the interface and be able to model odd design of buildings and HVAC solutions. However, I am not a computer programmer and why invent the entire wheel again. Therefor I look for a tool/environment which already has some building modules. I have been thinking about TRNSYS.
The Modelica language seems also very interesting. BERKELY lab has some building component library and moreover do I get the impression that Modelica is relatively easy to use and learn and do perhaps not require Master degree in programming to master.
Comments are welcome
Best regards
Jacob Lindblom
