In LEED V3 (see USGBC.org and midway down the webpage is a LEED version 3 weblink.) under the EA Energy Prequisite will be a template and spreadsheet (the spreadsheet can be download on the right under additional files) for you to fill out when the simulations are complete. Toward the bottom of the template is a list of simulation software choices. When you choose Eplus, the list of output and input requirements will be displayed. The project needs to be registered and you will need access to those credits as a team member or be assigned responsibility for those credits to get access. I've found it much easier to enter the info directly into the template weblink that opens and Adobe PDF template. Your LEED Consultant or whoever is acting as the LEED
documentation person should setup this access for you. If my memory is correct, for Eplus they want the IDF files, and energy summary reports or ABUPS reports. You'll have to include the Baseline IDF files for the four rotations. I believe Eplus V6 might do this for you, but haven't used the Rotation post processor option so don't know how well it works.. See the I/O reference guide for doing the 4 rotations within Eplus. John
