Hello,

I'm new at EnergyPlus, but do have some experience with DOE-2.. I'm trying to take the PNNL prototype models and run the for some different locations. Since the HVAC and Plant equipment is set to autosize, I was hoping that I would only have to change the weather file and I'd be good to go. However, after some digging it does seem that there are a few inputs I have to change in the IDF, mainly the sizingperiod:designdays. Are there any other inputs i need to change to get an accurate run in different locations? Is there a general procedure I can follow to update the model for a different location?

thanks,

-cliff.
