DOE Releases Updates of EnergyPlus and OpenStudio

During the last week of March, DOE—working with a group of national labs and contractors—released regularly scheduled updates of its open-source, cross-platform whole-building energy modeling tools, the EnergyPlus engine and the OpenStudio software development kit and application.

EnergyPlus V8.5 includes the following new features:

Improved sizing for pumps and reheat coils
Improved economizer integration for multi-speed coils
New ASHRAE single-zone VAV fan-control
Electric storage controls
Significant speedups for daylighting calculations in large models

During the 2015-2016 fiscal year, the EnergyPlus development team is focusing on improving robustness and execution speed and on internal code restructuring to help with maintenance, testing, and future performance improvements. EnergyPlus V8.5 includes fixes for over 90 bugs and issues. With V8.5, the EnergyPlus open-source licensing scheme has been simplified. EnergyPlus is now distributed under the standard BSD-3 license.

Whereas EnergyPlus updates are released twice a year, OpenStudio updates are released quarterly.

OpenStudio V1.11 new features include:

Application support for dual-duct system layout
Application support for construction inheritance

These complement features were introduced in V1.10, released in December 2015:

Compatibility with SketchUp 2016
Support for additional HVAC equipment types and systems
Application support for grid view
Improved Radiance integration

OpenStudio V1.11 also supports EnergyPlus V8.5, marking the first time OpenStudio has supported the EnergyPlus version upon the latter’s release. DOE plans to continue this practice into the future.

EnergyPlus and OpenStudio are available for download from energyplus.net and openstudio.net. DOE encourages user involvement in the planning and prioritization of new features and bug fixes for EnergyPlus and OpenStudio via the main sites’ Feedback tabs and at energyplus.uservoice.com and openstudio.uservoice.com. All four sites are accessible using the energyplus.net single sign-on.
