RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Energy+.IDD
Hi Drury
Thanks.
Well, it was a spin off. I am using some legacy optimisation codes,
which needs the optimisation to be run from within University Network.
But, I wanted to access optimisation module from home, so the only thing
I could do is to develop a web based interface.
Also, I wanted to keep the technology simple, eliminating the need for
upgrade or reinstallation. The concept of thin client popped in, and it
served our purpose well.
About future plans, we will certainly think of something, if it is
accepted by the community. Regarding my personal plans, I want to work
towards making "Energy Simulation" more accessible to Architects,
eliminating the need to go through all the details of input data. The
simpler, the better.
I am now working on a different set of interface, which takes off what
has been done in ArDOT and extending it to the next level.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Monjur

Monjur,
This is very interesting. We were thinking about
doing a simple web-based interface ourselves--looks
as if you may have beat us to it.
Is this for internal use or do you plan to make it more
widely available?
We want to promote significant advances such as
these...

Please respond to
EnergyPlus_Suppor
t
1. Yes, I am talking form interface development point of view. I think
most E+ users don't actually use IDD.
2. Regarding UPPERCASE or UpperLowerCase, my feeling is that - E+ should
stick to one standard. If you allow both, interface developers have to
check for both, don't they?
3. Thanks.
On a completely different matter, I have been working on a web based
interface. It is still in development phase, so please don't expect
everything to be working.
The software runs in a server, you don't need to install anything in the
computer. Open up your browser and see how it works at:
http://civ93.ucc.ie
Currently, I have a firewall installed for security measures. I will
leave the gateway open from GMT 15.00 until 16.00 - so that interested
persons can check out browsing of the input data.
Comments are welcome.
Regards,
Monjur Mourshed

Are you speaking as an interface developer? the IDF editor actually
reads
in the IDD and uses it in its display -- others, I think, do not use the
IDD directly.

Some have spaces in the names, some do not. We have left it flexible
and
non-case-sensitive. The user does not have to know whether it is
DESIGNDAY
or designday or DesignDay to enter the design day object. We prefer
readability over "waste computing resources". Certainly when there are
no
spaces separating the "key words" of the object, it is harder to
read. Personally I find all upper case harder to read than all lower
but I
don't like all lower either. We have no set guideline for developers.

Yes. and fixed for next release.
