All:

Forwarding a message to the list-serve.... The Sim-EB software is distributed free-of-charge.

(Note:  If you don't currently include Sim-EB as a simulation weapon in your arsenal, you might consider giving it a look. For working with existing buildings that have operational data, Sim-EB contains a wicked powerful module for digesting user-defined generic high resolution metered data and performing cluster analysis against it. The results is a suggested patchwork of 24-hour schedule definitions representing the data, which can then be transformed into realistic, representative data-driven schedules for 8760 model input.  This is only one of Sim-EB's many innovative features, and it does include documentation.)

All the Best,

_Chris

Aux Utilisateurs de SIMEB,



·         Une nouvelle application permettant de générer un fichier météo SIMEB pour n'importe quelle localité est maintenant disponible à la section Donnée météo du site SIMEB (https:\\www.simeb.ca<https://www.simeb.ca/>) , sous l'onglet Conversion fichier météo. L'application génère un fichier météo SIMEB (*.swdf) à partir d'un fichier météo de format EnergyPlus (*.epw) ou DOE-2 (*.bin) chargé par l'usager. Le fichier météo SIMEB est un fichier zippé contenant à la fois le fichier météo en format EnergyPlus, DOE-2 et les conditions de design associées. Des fichiers météo de format EnergyPlus de plus de 2000 localités à travers le monde sont disponibles au lien suivant : http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/cfm/weather_data.cfm



·         À la section téléchargement du site SIMEB, des versions anglaises du guide méthodologique et des exemples pas à pas ont été déposées dernièrement



·         Une modification aux règles de redirection du site de SIMEB a été réalisée en cours d'année. Maintenant, il est impératif de saisir https:\\www.simeb.ca<https://www.simeb.ca/> au complet pour y accéder, en n'oubliant pas https:\\.



·         Une nouvelle version de SIMEB est prévue pour le printemps 2013. Parmi les améliorations, notons la migration du moteur de calcul EnergyPlus 5.0 vers EnergyPlus 7.2 et l'ajout d'un module de comparaison de résultats entre différents scénarios de bâtiments. Soyez à l'affut de la prochaine sortie.

*********************

To SIMEB users,


·         A new applet generating SIMEB weather file from any location is now available at the Weather data section of SIMEB website (https:\\www.simeb.ca<https://www.simeb.ca/>). The applet builds a SIMEB weather file from a DOE-2 or EnergyPlus weather file uploaded by the user from Weather file conversion tab. The SIMEB weather file (*.swdf) is a zipped file containing the DOE-2 (*.bin) and EnergyPlus (*.epw) weather file and also the heating/cooling design conditions information. EnergyPlus weather file of more than 2000 locations is available at this link : http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/cfm/weather_data.cfm



·         At the Download section of the SIMEB web site, English versions of methodological guide and Tutorials have been added.



·         Redirection rule of the web site have been modified recently. It is now imperative to enter entirely https:\\www.simeb.ca<https://www.simeb.ca/> to access it, without forgetting https.



·         A new version of SIMEB is planned for spring 2013. Among improvements, EnergyPlus engine migration from 5.0 to 7.2 and the addition of a module to facilitate the results comparison between building alternatives. Stay aware of the outcome.
