[Bldg-sim] Need 'realistic' Building Models for E+

[Varkie C Thomas]

Joe,
 
I am NOT suggesting looking at the DOE2.1E and eQUEST (DO2.2) input files for conversion to E+. For example use the bldg A-E model for High-Rise Mixed Use Bldg information shown in the case study - http://bepan.info/proj-bldgs/p13-high-rise-bldg - to create the input files for E+. 
 
Download by double clicking on - Proj-13 - eQ-DOE21E - HRMU - High-Rise Mixed-Use Bldg - PDF-Report � on the page.  The eQUEST model was created from the information in this report and from the ACAD file - Proj-13 - eQ-DOE21E - HRMU - High-Rise Mixed-Use Bldg - ACAD-DWG - and not by converting the DOE2.1E input file.  I am also attaching the files but it may not go thru because of the size.
 
All the case study building models in - http://bepan.info/contents - were modified and simplified for teaching by eliminating the details and repetition found in actual A-E drawings, schedules and specifications.

I think Geof is interested only in EnergyPlus building models, while yours are all in DOE-2.1E. However, I do applaud your willingness to share publicly such work.
As a secondary note, I do have a doe2ep program that can translate DOE-2.1E inputs to EnergyPlus 1.4. Anyone interested can e-mail me.

Try the case studies shown in the page tabs below (they are based on real bldgs but modified & simplified for teaching)

I think that developing the objectives along the lines shown in http://bepan.info/ will be useful for A-E design and education.
