[Bldg-sim] Load Calcs with Energy Simulation Software

Hello All,
Would anyone out there like to share experiences or precautions in using
simulation models (particularly eQuest, DOE2.1e, EnergyPlus) for load
calculations? Any advantages/disadvantages, tricks, or warnings in using
these simulation models as opposed to dedicated load calculation
software like Elite's CHVAC? Any studies comparing the two?

Thanks,
