There is a help topic on setting up DesignBuilder models to minimise
simulation time at:

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Energy Plus IDF Editor


I am starting to work with Energy Plus (sometimes I use Design Builder as
Graphic Interface), I would like to know the following:

    - What are the main things that I should pay attention when I am
constructing the Building Model(on Design Builder), to prevent that the
simulation doesn´t take several hours?

    - What should be the better sequence for studying the Manuals of
EnergyPlus?

    - What Document (EPlus Manual or file) should I study to learn how to
work well with the IDF Editor?

    - What Document (EPlus Manual or file) should I study to learn how to
identify and correct errors, that can appear in the Design Builder Exported
IDF Files?

Best Regards

A L
