Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Random number generator in EMS
Hi All,
I noticed that the random number generator is pseudorandom (meaning that consecutive simulations seem to come up with the same numbers). This doesn't suit my application very well because I specifically want a probability distribution on the annual energy use. Does anyone know of how to get more randomness (even if it's faking it somehow)?
Thanks,
Liam O'Brien
