#EnergyPlus
Well that is certainly relevant to my lectures this week on building physics! I assume the models you studied were high dimensional and nonlinear - EnergyPlus, TRNSYS or similar?

In Japanese shelters the shelters had over 1000 pm CO2 over 70% of the time. Used CONTAM, EnergyPlus and Warren model to model ventilation and thermal parameters in shelters.

Created a tool to test shelter design. Designers need visual outlets. (2/2)

LCOE, a highly problematic number used in many energy policies, stands for the "Levelized Cost of Energy" and is promoted by investment firm Lazard. Below is their 18th edition from 2025.

Jumping in here with more recent news:
1. Window certification is linked to energy modeling software inputs. DOE's EnergyPlus doesn't require the same detailed frame + IGU + install breakdown as PHPP, so NFRC isn't incentivized to provide that info. ../2

I just find it interesting that given the number of open and proprietary tools architects/builders use (EnergyPlus, DesignBuilder, THERM, SketchUp), the medium for knowledge transfer is just photos or maybe a good article in a mag ( for us in the AU it’s the great Sanctuary mag).

Next step is to show how more advanced validations work, using containers running things like EnergyPlus or FMU-based sims.

Open source code is here: github.com/danielmcquil...

I have no stars yet and this makes me feel sad. Surely you'll be the one to give my project a star?

New release of 'Wind Signal Smoother' out!

This release includes batch-processing capability, allowing you to apply the same smoothing settings to multiple files at once. More importantly, it now comes with a #python executable, no #MATLAB needed!

Wind signal smoothing: in EnergyPlus (EPW) or EnviMET (csv) weather files
This document describes the complete methodology implemented in the MATLAB function Smooth_Wind_Signal (V2.1), for smoothing wind speed (WS) and wind direction (WD) inputs. The workflow reads EnergyPl...

Entre el modelo de diseño y el energético se pierde media semana rehaciendo geometría.

Buildings AI 2027 importa Revit y gbXML sin rehacer nada, añade lienzo de climatización y llega a la simulación con EnergyPlus.

Y sirve el mismo modelo que va a obra.

Sustainability, Vol. 17, Pages 2056: Simulation-Based Multi-Objective Optimization for Building Retrofits in Iran: Addressing Energy Consumption, Emissions, Comfort, and Indoor Air Quality Considering Climate Change
Climate change poses significant challenges to energy efficiency and occupant comfort in residential buildings. This study introduces a simulation-based multi-objective optimization approach for architectural design, aimed at addressing these challenges and enhancing environmental sustainability. Utilizing EnergyPlus for energy simulations and jEPlus to identify objective functions and design parameters, the research employed the NSGA-II algorithm through jEPlus + EA for multi-objective optimization. A Morris sensitivity analysis assessed the impact of 25 design variables—including heating and cooling setpoints, air infiltration rates, insulation types, window selections, airflow rates, and HVAC systems—on key objective functions. Applied to a residential building in Sari, Iran, the study analyzed various climate change scenarios to minimize five main objectives: primary energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, indoor air quality, predicted percentage of dissatisfied, and visual discomfort hours. The weighted sum method was used to select optimal solutions from the Pareto front. Results demonstrated that the recommended energy retrofit strategies could reduce primary energy consumption by up to 60%, greenhouse gas emissions by 60%, predicted thermal dissatisfaction by 65%, and visual discomfort hours by 83%, while also achieving indoor air quality levels that meet ASHRAE recommended standards. However, the implementation of these energy-efficient solutions may require careful consideration of trade-offs in design decisions when addressing climate change challenges.

Validations can be simple and schema-based (JSON Schema, Relax NG, etc. ) or more advanced and involve things like simulations (EnergyPlus, FMI-based sims) or involve libraries that are a pain for users to install and use directly for infrequent tasks.

If you haven't tried modal.com to run parallel E+ instances, crazy easy. Create a Dockerfile based on NREL's energyplus build (make sure to apt-get install `python3 python3-pip python-is-python3`) and away you go. Spin up a 1000 instance parametric test in a just a small block of Python code.

"EnergyPlus" is an energy efficiency modeling software released by the Department of Energy. Did you mean Energy Star - a certification program which, for windows, is voluntary? (PS: The incumbent administration apparently wants to abolish Energy Star entirely.)

Pra variar um pouco no refrigerante comprei um energético.

Como tudo dessa linha Plus o preço é imbatível. Cinco reais a garrafa no Supermarket.
