[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Units in E+

["Jean marais" <jeannieboef@xxxxxxxxx>]

As this program is used internationally, I think the SI units as is is just fine. I only use IP units when I work with LEED requirements. In Germany for air we typically use m3/h, but I can live with m3/s, that's no problem. The conversions I find hardest are W/m2 into American Standard Units, because they often use a combination in lighting W/ft2 or BTU/hr/ft2 where the /hr is often left away. Also, for energy metering using economics objects from kWh to Therms...this was a bit messy.
