April 2003 EnergyPlus Workshop for Beginning Modelers - Part 1 Lecture 2: Simulating Buildings and EnergyPlus Auxiliary Programs Importance of this Lecture to the Simulation of Buildings Simulation of buildings requires 3 main steps: Creation of Building Model (Input Definition) Utilizing a Simulation Program (Running/Debugging Input) Analysis of Simulation Results (Output) Most of the lectures in this course focus on the first of the three steps since this is where most of your time will be spent However, using a program and understanding its output is as critical to the proper use of simulation This lecture focuses on the last two steps since they will be useful throughout the semester and will restrict the discussion to the program we are using this semester: EnergyPlus Purpose of this Lecture Gain an understanding of the following EnergyPlus related issues Simulation Types EnergyPlus Files Auxiliary Programs EnergyPlus Output Handling Errors in Input Simulation Types Peak Thermal Load Calculation Simulation run for an extreme (design) day or several design days Generally used for determining sizing of equipment such as fans, chillers, boilers, etc. Building Energy Analysis Simulation run for an extended period of time: a month, season, year, or several years using weather files Includes the building response to the entire range of conditions expected at a particular site Helps evaluate the energy cost of the building over longer periods of time EnergyPlus Files Let EP-Launch or RunEPlus.bat worry about getting files into the right place Simple, console app concept Energy+.idd – constant Energy+.ini – working file paths In.idf – input data file In.epw – weather data Input files in working directory Execution “from” working directory Files Overview Simple ASCII files Simple input format (self-contained) User-defined output (comma separated data) can be interpreted by many programs Spreadsheets Databases Custom Programs EP-Launch Assistance in running EnergyPlus R
