Thanks for the quick answer.
I know the basic energy simulation through E+. as well as use the IDF Editor to get the special buildings I need. Now, I want to do the energy simulation for a building which has green wall (vegetation layer) attached on the building façade. So, I am still not clear how to modify the component to satisfy the characteristic of green wall. Could you tell me anything you know about that ? (The wall only has the W/m h)
By the way, I have already watched the video you attached to me. But I am not sure which software the video is talking about? Revit, Openstudio or others?
Best

Hopefully Dr YI is not offended, by my answering this- but please:
- Watch the intro videos about how Energy Plus works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfqEXN-icQA (there are a few on you tube but this is a good starter)
- Do the intro exercises (these will give you a practical understanding
- Search for the item you want to model in the documentation that comes with Energy Plus
The attached file comes with energy plus> example files>ecoroof Orlando
- It is possible to build any facade you want in energy plus, but I am unsure what you are talking about with regards to the import.
I started with modification of IDF files to model systems rather then buildings and was able learn the basics in about a month, and got very comfortable with most functions of the software within 2 years.

Dr Li,
Could you send me the example file for the green roof (eco roof)?
Is this possible to use software to create a building facade with specific thermal characteristics, and import to E+ as an component to do energy analysis?
Thanks
Best Regards
Haibo
