[Bldg-sim] jEPlus goes Open Source

[Yi Zhang]

Dear Chris,

 

Thanks for suggestions! You are quite right that the
"AnnualSimulationSplitter.rb
<http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/cDXDSwcz28zHkbGkF1pUsBWKlvUzNbygESu5TICqDF
P6SVd2I5_74slQv3_lr_OU4NI95YVeubt9QvGoQjQM3p2CFdlFY8A/Utilities/AnnualSi
mulationSplitter.rb> " (by Phylroy) is a wonderful idea. Maybe I should
consider incorporating the function in jEPlus so that the split results
can be merged in one CSV file. Has anyone tested how much error this
approach may cause, due to the discontinuity introduced into annual
simulation? I can imagine it would not be too bad if you don't split it
in tens of threads. 

 

Cheers,

 

Yi

That's good Yi.

It would be worthwhile hosting it on the Yahoo E+ support forum. There
are a couple of potentially useful utilities on there including a Ruby
script that will split your simulation period over the number of
processors you have for a multicore machine.

Very good!

Chris

Dear all,

 

I meant to send this yesterday but the clock ticked over midnight. I am
dead serious: jEPlus has gone open source (under GPLv3) and here is the
proof: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jeplus/

 

Although EnergyPlus is now providing a number of functions (parametric,
SQL output etc) natively, I believe there is still much jEPlus can
offer. I hope turning it into a community project will help it grow. My
special thanks to Davis Marques, who has joined the project and was the
reason that this happened before Easter in the first place. I would like
to welcome more developers and users to join the project, too.

 

Best wishes,

 

Yi
