[bldg-sim] tools/software for extracting specific data/info from DOE-2.2output file

[Vikram Sami]

Paul,
I don't know if you are referring to something beyond the SIM file
generated by eQUEST, but is not, you will probably find that this
contains all the data that you are looking for.
 
Its a text file containing all the reports from the simulation. The BEPU
& BEPS reports contain information about hours spent outside the
throttling range (information that is actually available in your summary
window in eQUEST itself (under air side HVAC). On the eQUEST website
you can find an example DOE2 output file that will point you to where to
find each of the reports in the document
(http://doe2.com/download/eQUEST/DOE22Reports-and-QC_2001-06-07.zip). 
 
Hope this helps

Subject: [bldg-sim] tools/software for extracting specific data/info
from DOE-2.2output file



Is anyone aware of a software tool/product or another means by which to
easily extract/parse information found in the DOE-2 output/sim file?
The e-QUEST-produced reports are helpful for summing up the results, but
I would like to have quicker access to other information for
calibrating/verifying/questioning my models.  For instance, it'd be
great to extract # of hours underheated or cooled, or perhaps I'd like
to extract the DOE-2 -sized cfm or capacity values.  With a lot of
zones/systems this becomes a tedious task to deal with manually.

Any suggestions for a good method of doing this?  I know some have
written VBA to this end, but is that limited in flexibility or easily
adaptable to all models (i.e. changing # of rooms affects line # in
output file)?  Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Paul Erickson
