Ellen:

I have .AWK tools and spreadsheets that I routinely hand out in my classes that take hourly data from DOE-2 or EQUEST and put into a spreadsheet for hourly time series, daily scatter plots and/or 3-D surface plots that I can share. I've included an example of what the plots do. The colored plots are the DOE-2 class, the black and white plots are the old LoanSTAR plots the ESL developed using SAS, TEK, etc.

RMI is gathering and developing tools to support improved methods and quality energy modeling. RMI plans to deliver these open source tools to the modeling community in late summer (delivery mechanism still to be worked out). As part of this, we will be developing a spreadsheet-based tool to be used in conjunction with DOE-2/eQUEST to:

1) provide side-by-side input variable values for completing parametric runs
2) provide side-by-side output results values for easily comparing parametric run results
3) compare metrics calculated from run output to expected rules-of-thumb values
4) provide standard graphs of results for reports and presentations

If anyone is aware of open-source tools that address some or all of these capabilities, please let us know. We may be able to use them as a starting point for the work.
Best regards,
Ellen
