See the link below for a free beta version and an EnergyPlus Plug-in
for Sketchup.  If it works as advertiesed it will allow designers,
engineers and architects do energy modeling earlier on in the design
process.  I first heard about this in the Environmental Building News
last year sometime when they reviewed energy modeling software, but
it hasn't been available until now.  I'd be interested in hearing
people's thoughts about it.
