Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community
 | 1 | initial version |
EnergyPlus has the chiller and cooling tower capabilities you need but does not have models for the terminal equipment you may want to use (e.g., CRAC), or for the racks themselves. And of course, there would be limitations in modeling hot-aisle/cold-aisle strategies. We are currently working on some of these features, but they will not be available in time for the 8.2.0 release next week. We will be doing interim releases via github, and they may be available there in the next couple of months so you may not need to wait until the 9.0.0 release in April. Hopefully, someone from @EnergyPlusDevTeam will follow-up with more detail and/or suggestions for temporary workarounds. I will ping them.
