Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Running simulation using VB

[Edwin Lee <leeed2001@xxxxxxxxx>]

To run E+ from a VBA macro, you'll probably just be starting an executable through the shell.  This can be found all over the place with google:

http://www.computing.net/answers/programming/vba-shell-function/2677.html

for one.  

There is information in the AuxillaryPrograms.pdf documentation that comes with E+ about how to run E+ directly, without a front-end.  Just search on 'Running EnergyPlus by Hand'.  

Good luck...
