Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: IP Units help - IDF conversions

[Drury.Crawley@xxxxxxxxxx]

See page 39 (45 of 56 in the PDF) of GettingStarted.pdf.   It describes
this more clearly:  If there are no units in the units column, it doesn't
get converted.

All schedules and fluid properties must be entered in SI (even when using
the IP view in IDFEditor). This includes thermostat setpoints, people
activity levels, and other dimensioned schedules.

Generally you should not have to use the fluid properties unless you are
entering a new refrigerant.  These are described on page 734 (761 of 807 in
the PDF) of InputOutputReference.pdf.

As I tried to convert the input to IP units in the IDF Editor, I got
a message that states "Schedules and Fluid Properties will not be
converted." So not all values will be converted. I'm not sure which
ones won't be converted. Can someone give me additional insight on
which are the "Schedule and Fluid Properties" values?

Tx,

Tom Connolly
