Re: [Bldg-sim] jEPlus goes Open Source



Dear Chris,

 

Thanks for suggestions! You are quite right that the “AnnualSimulationSplitter.rb” (by Phylroy) is a wonderful idea. Maybe I should consider incorporating the function in jEPlus so that the split results can be merged in one CSV file. Has anyone tested how much error this approach may cause, due to the discontinuity introduced into annual simulation? I can imagine it would not be too bad if you don’t split it in tens of threads.

 

Cheers,

 

Yi

That’s good Yi.

It would be worthwhile hosting it on the Yahoo E+ support forum. There are a couple of potentially useful utilities on there including a Ruby script that will split your simulation period over the number of processors you have for a multicore machine.

Very good!

Chris

Dear all,

 

I meant to send this yesterday but the clock ticked over midnight. I am dead serious: jEPlus has gone open source (under GPLv3) and here is the proof: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jeplus/

 

Although EnergyPlus is now providing a number of functions (parametric, SQL output etc) natively, I believe there is still much jEPlus can offer. I hope turning it into a community project will help it grow. My special thanks to Davis Marques, who has joined the project and was the reason that this happened before Easter in the first place. I would like to welcome more developers and users to join the project, too.

 

Best wishes,

 

Yi
