[EnergyPlus_Support] COMIS capabilities



Dear All,

Some quick questions about COMIS:

1) Is COMIS supplied as part of EnergyPlus? Is it COMIS 3.0? Or has 
it been developed in any way? If so, does anyone have a list of these 
additional developments?

2) How is the simulation with COMIS performed? i.e. does COMIS run 
separately as another executable and the two programs exchange data 
as the simulation proceeds, or has the COMIS source code been 
integrated into the main simulation of EnergyPlus? If it's the former 
does this make the simulation slower?

3) Can COMIS simulate more than one air network at a time? (e.g. a 
semi-detached house where heat transfers through the party wall, but 
the air flows in each house are not connected). If not, what would be 
the best way to approach this semi-detached problem with the current 
software?

4) In tall atria (or other large spaces) it is useful to simulate 
stratification effects by 'stacking' zones one on top of the other 
vertically. Is COMIS able to simulate the air movement through these 
large horizontal openings between the zones? If not, what is the 
recommendation for simulating a large stratified space?

Thanks in advance
David.
