RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Export from DesignBuilder to E+

["Andy Tindale" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Farshad,

A couple of possible causes for differences between DesignBuilder EnergyPlus
simulations and EP-Launch EnergyPlus simulations:

1. Ensure that you target the correct version of EnergyPlus from within
DesignBuilder. DesignBuilder can use any recent version of EnergyPlus, but
you should make sure that you use the same version of EnergyPlus for your
comparisons (for obvious reasons). The version of EnergyPlus to target from
DesignBuilder can be set on the EnergyPlus tab of the program options
dialog.

2. Check that you're using the same weather file in EnergyPlus as you are
using in DesignBuilder.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Export from DesignBuilder to E+


Dear all,
  I have export a IDF file from DesignBuilder and have simulated it by E+
but I received different results for annual heating and cooling energy
cunsumption in E+ and DB. Who know why?

  Whether the output parameters of E+ and DB have defferent Definition?

  thanks,
  Farshad
