Good news and bad news....

Bad news--we found a few bugs in Version 1.2.1 that you need to know about...

- COMIS results were not correct in the V1.2.1.012 release.  This has been 
corrected.

- DOE-2 Translator: The conversion in the DOE-2 Translator for Specific 
Heat is incorrect. The translated value is a factor of 1000 too small. The 
conversion should be J/Kg-K = 4186.8 * Btu/Lb-F. This has been corrected.

- In the eio output, the section "Zone Internal Gains/Equipment Information 
- Nominal" reports "Floor Area {m2}, # Occupants, Area per Occupant 
{m2/person}". The value being reported for "Area per Occupant" is the 
inverse {persons/m2}. This has been corrected.

- Several new error detections were added and other parts of the install 
cleaned up.

All addressed issues have been uploaded to the Updates area (important 
issues are highlighted in red):
File        : /Updates/Addressed_Issues-V1-2-1-022.htm

release.

Addressed issues in V1.2.1.012 and Known issues in both versions are there 
as well.

Good news--a new build (22) of EnergyPlus Version 1.2.1 which fixes these
issues is now available from the EnergyPlus web site.

Steps to get the new build:

1. Go to the EnergyPlus web site ( www.energyplus.gov ) and click on
Getting EnergyPlus.

2. Complete the registration info (yes, you have to register again...).

3. Download the new version.  You may want to try the Windows web
install--it only will download the necessary new files, not everything.

Thanks for using EnergyPlus!
