Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community
 | 1 | initial version |
You may have already spotted this example measure in the BCL. EnergyPlus measures are dragged and dropped in OpenStudio applications like other measures, the big difference is that they run after the OpenStudio model is translated from OSM to IDF, but before the simulation runs. They are typically used when you need access to something that has yet to be wrapped as an OpenStudio object. The above PV example was a good use case, but PV objects should be showing up in version 1.9.1 or thereabouts. Another good use case is for EMS code. We've been writing a number of EMS measures that haven't shown up in the BCL yet, but should appear shortly as examples of how to inject custom control login into your model.
