RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] version and results

[Jim Dirkes <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To elaborate?.

This topic has been addressed MANY times!  It is also fairly common for participants who are new to this forum to ask questions which have been addressed in detail in the past.  Although I know it is sometimes difficult to search the forum past posts for a particular topic, that is probably a very good idea if you are new to EnergyPlus or this forum.  You will often find a wealth of information faster than waiting for someone to post a response!

The thousands of pages of EnergyPlus Help files are also a rich source of information.

Out of respect and courtesy to the many users of the forum, as well as for your own benefit, make sure that you have done some research prior to posting the question, and also make sure your question is specific.  The idea behind the forum is for diverse people to help each other.  Because they are normally busy earning their living or pursuing an advanced degree, it is much less likely that they will respond to a question that is obviously not well-researched or explained.

I don?t think you can attach files or include images (e.g. diagrams or graphs) via the Yahoo portal, but both can be done in an email sent to <mailto:EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.  Images are often VERY helpful for someone unfamiliar with your particular model to understand what you are saying.

Finally, and in case my tone is not clear, I think that all questions are welcome, but they should be posted after some thought and investigation on your own.
