Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Conversion from E+7.1 to E+6

On Windows installs, I think they are in the main directory:
...\EnergyPlus-7-1-0\Rules7-0-0-to-7-1-0.xls

Good luck! I'll reiterate the fact that many advances have been made in the program in terms of usability, robustness, and speed, since v6, so I hope you end up getting everything converted up.
