RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] parametric runs

["D. Charlie Curcija" <curcija@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Aslihan,

 

I don't have advice regarding E+ parametric run option, but I can recommend
you EFEN program by DesignBuilder Software, which is designed to analyze
different window options in commercial buildings.  It handles parametric
runs for windows and gives you opportunity to view and compare results using
various options, ether in a form of tables or graphs.  Also included in a
program are number of typical commercial building types available in variety
of different shapes predefined in a program.  The program includes extensive
library of windows (including different framing and glazing options) and has
capability to define new windows. EFEN is in final Beta testing stages and
can be downloaded from www.designbuildersoftware.com/efen.php

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] parametric runs

 

Dear all,

We are working on group simulation for evaluating various window 
alternatives. For this aim we developed macro files for 32 different 
window types. The windows have curtains also and to model this we 
specified 32+32 window types at the CONSTRUCTION section. 

The imf and epg files have been developed for the group simulations. 
When the eplaunch starts 64 simulation are in progress although we 
have 32 window alternatives. Also after the parametric runs we get the 
same results in "A32_1.eso to A32_32.eso" files. We only get warning 
messages unrelated with this problem and it seems that the parametric 
runs are working but we receive exactly the same results for different 
window types. 

We couldn't solve the problem since we couldn't find any example for 
parametric runs. 

Any help will be appreciated related with this specific problem... 

I upload the A32.imf, A32.epg input files and A32_1.eso, A32_2.eso 
output files to the group files folder.

Thanks

Aslihan
