Hi reckkremer!
I downloaded and did a test render of your building max-file and it worked nicely with everything left at their defaults.
The Lighing Analysis is rather nice... I'm just not sure how accurate is is. I guess you have to be careful how you set things up.
The weater data files that can drive the simulation are pretty nice too.
As for my renderings, I'm glad you liked them! The entire site is hopelessly outdated, but I'm working on my new portfolio as we speak. An yes, the wireframe overlay is a Photoshop thing: render the scene as a black/white wireframe, then use the "screen" or "multiply" blending mode, and use a (gradient) layermask to fade the wireframe in/out where appropriate...
I hope you can get Backburner up and running. I find it very useful, even necessary, when doing hi-res renderings in mental ray (where the "black bucket problem" due do memory limitations can be an issue).
