Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] E+ System Requirements

["Edwin Lee" <leeed2001@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know that there is a hard set of requirements or recommendations, but here is my experience:

For running single simulations at a time, my 3 yr old laptop w/ 1.66GHz single core processor and 1GB RAM runs just fine.
My work laptop where I constantly run dual simulations concurrently has a dual core processor and 3GB RAM and does quite nice for me.

I think it is fair to say that E+ won't be affected by the graphics engine, as it is solely a command line engine.  However, if you are going to run a GUI such as DesignBuilder than you may want to look at the specific GUI recommendations.

Dear All,

I am intending to download E+ and learn it to do some energy
simulations. Before I download into my computer, is there any where I
can find the minimum system requirement that is required in order for
E+ to run smoothly (ie. CPU speed, ram, graphics, etc)... I am hoping
that my laptop of 3 years is able to run E+ smoothly. If not, I might
have to rely on my desktop at home instead.

Thanks! :)
