ÂJason,If you are still taking inputs, here is one more request. Can IDFEditor sort EMS programs in a different way (the way we actually write IF-ELSE ,nested loops statements etc) than rest of the objects?For example, if the idf has following EMS program  IF ABS_QdotReq < ABS_FullTotCapSens,  !- <none>     Set PLR = (ABS_QdotReq - FanPowerToAir)/ (ABS_FullTotCapSens - FanPowerToAir),  !- <none>     Set ErrorTol = 0.0005,  !- <none>     Set Iter = 0,       !- <none>     Set MaxIter = 30,     !- <none>     Set Relax = 0.8,     !- <none>     Set ABS_Error = 0.002,  !- <none>     WHILE (ABS_Error > ErrorTol) && (Iter < MaxIter),  !- <none>        Set OutAir_H = (PLR*FullLoadOutAirEnth) +  ((1.0-PLR)* FanOut_H),  !- <none>        Set OutAir_W = (PLR*FullLoadOutAirHumRat) + ((1.0-PLR)*FanOut_W),  !- <none>        Set OutletAirTemp = @TdbFnHW OutAir_H OutAir_W,  !- <none>        Set TotCapTest = AirSupMdotDesign * (DesiredZone_H - OutAir_H),  !- <none>        Set Error = (ABS_QdotReq - TotCapTest)/ABS_QdotReq,  !- <none>        Set ABS_Error = @ABS Error,  !- <none>        IF (ABS_Error > ErrorTol),  !- <none>           Set DelPLR = (ABS_QdotReq - TotCapTest) / ABS_FullTotCapSens,  !- <none>           Set PLR = PLR + Relax * DelPLR,  !- <none>           Set PLR = @min PLR 1.0,  !- <none>        ENDIF,          !- <none>        Set Iter = Iter + 1,   !- <none>        If (Iter == 16),     !- <none>           Set Relax = 0.5,     !- <none>        ENDIF,          !- <none>     ENDWHILE,         !- <none>  ELSE,           !- <none>     Set PLR = 1.0,      !- <none>     Set OutAir_H = FullLoadOutAirEnth,  !- <none>     Set OutAir_W = FullLoadOutAirHumRat,  !- <none>     Set OutletAirTemp = FullLoadOutAirTemp,  !- <none>  ENDIF,          !- <none>after sorting from IDF Editor, it becomes as follows  IF ABS_QdotReq < ABS_FullTotCapSens,  !- A68  Set PLR = (ABS_QdotReq - FanPowerToAir)/ (ABS_FullTotCapSens - FanPowerToAir),  !- A69  Set ErrorTol = 0.0005,  !- A70  Set Iter = 0,       !- A71  Set MaxIter = 30,     !- A72  Set Relax = 0.8,     !- A73  Set ABS_Error = 0.002,  !- A74  WHILE (ABS_Error > ErrorTol) && (Iter < MaxIter),  !- A75  Set OutAir_H = (PLR*FullLoadOutAirEnth) +  ((1.0-PLR)* FanOut_H),  !- A76  Set OutAir_W = (PLR*FullLoadOutAirHumRat) + ((1.0-PLR)*FanOut_W),  !- A77  Set OutletAirTemp = @TdbFnHW OutAir_H OutAir_W,  !- A78  Set TotCapTest = AirSupMdotDesign * (DesiredZone_H - OutAir_H),  !- A79  Set Error = (ABS_QdotReq - TotCapTest)/ABS_QdotReq,  !- A80  Set ABS_Error = @ABS Error,  !- A81  IF (ABS_Error > ErrorTol),  !- A82  Set DelPLR = (ABS_QdotReq - TotCapTest) / ABS_FullTotCapSens,  !- A83  Set PLR = PLR + Relax * DelPLR,  !- A84  Set PLR = @min PLR 1.0,  !- A85  ENDIF,          !- A86  Set Iter = Iter + 1,   !- A87  If (Iter == 16),     !- A88  Set Relax = 0.5,     !- A89  ENDIF,          !- A90  ENDWHILE,         !- A91  ELSE,           !- A92  Set PLR = 1.0,      !- A93  Set OutAir_H = FullLoadOutAirEnth,  !- A94  Set OutAir_W = FullLoadOutAirHumRat,  !- A95  Set OutletAirTemp = FullLoadOutAirTemp,  !- A96  ENDIF,          !- A97Thanks for asking for inputs.On Tue, Apr 12, 2016 at 9:08 PM, Jason Glazer jglazer@xxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support] <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:ÂThanks for all the suggestions I received on this thread.

Guitar strings are in constant tension against the guitar's neck during their entire life. The tension doesnâ??t discourage the guitarâ??s neck. Rather, it allows beautiful music to be made. May it be so with our lives and their tensions.
