What do you mean by "best"?
Most accurate?
Most complete?
Easiest to use?
Most cost effective?
Most verified against real world buildings?
Most supported?

the ESP-r engine in hot3000 is opensource and has had a lot of research projects associated with it. Another contender for whole system modeling (including all sorts of on-site renewables etc.) is RETScreen http://www.retscreen.net/ang/home.php

Any and all of those, and more I'm sure. For example AFAIK Hot3000 is just as good as the others but free, but has zero factory back-up/training etc.]]> Tas, EIS or Hot3000 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=5193&Focus=72005#Comment_72005 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=5193&Focus=72005#Comment_72005 Sat, 16 Jan 2010 16:49:38 +0000 Mike George
