Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Robust Building Structures on Energy Plus

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Look at the example files, MultiStory and the ones starting
with Benchmark.

Also, you might investigate the EEFG - EnergyPlus Example File Generator
at:
http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/cfm/inputs/

And there is the benchmark buildings site. (I am not sure if these
have been upgraded to V5):
