Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Energy Plus - Design Builder



Hello,
 
1) From my personal experience with DesignBuilder, I don't think that you can import an idf into DesignBuilder. However, you can export an idf from DesignBuilder into EnergyPlus.
 
2) I am not clear on this question. However, if you are asking whether you can open the dsb file again in DesignBuilder after you export the idf, the answer is yes.
 
3) I believe it does support renewable energy systems. It depends however at the specific system you are looking to design. It may support some systems while it may not for others.The DesignBuiilder help files would be a good place to refer to obtain this information.  
 
4) I do not know.
 
I believe that the help files for DesignBuilder should be able to answer some of these questions in more detail. If you need further assistance, that would be a good place to start.
 
Regards,
Dimos Triantafillu

Hi all,

I have some questions about Design Builder:

1) Is there the possibility to import idf to design builder program?

2) As far as I understood it is possible to export dsb files as idfs and open them in E+. Afterwards is it possible to reopen them in Design Builder?

3) Does it support renewable energy systems?

4) Except the ASHRAE standards is the use of EN standards possible?

Thank u in advance

I.
