Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to announce that jEPlus+EA has been updated to v1.6 BETA to take advantage of jEPlus v1.6.0's new capabilities. The tool is now available to download from jeplus.org. jEPlus+EA is a multi-objective optimisation tool for EnergyPlus users. TRNSYS support may be added should there be a demand. This release contains mainly bug fixes and GUI improvements. Regards, Yi Zhang jeplus.org From: Bldg-sim [mailto:bldg-sim-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dr Yi Zhang Dear Colleagues, jEPlus v1.6.0 is now available to download on SourceForge. There are three main improvements in this release: 1. Reading values from E+ tabular reports in eplustbl.csv - compared to using SQLite, reading from eplustbl.csv offers an simpler way to access E+'s tabular reports. It also helps eliminate the computing overhead associated with generating the SQLite output in the first place. 2. Python scripts for post-processing - the mechanism for using Python in result collection and post-processing has been overhauled. Two example scripts are included in the jEPlus package, one for reading from miscellaneous reports and one for calculating peak values from hourly output. More examples will be provided on the website. 3. Importing/exporting jEPlus project file in JSON format - this makes it possible to create and modify jEPlus projects using external programs. For more details, please check out the updated User's Manual on jeplus.org. Regards, Yi Zhang jeplus.org |
