You can use system or dos function to call RunEPlus.bat located in EnergyPlus directory. There are two ways rnning energyplus:

1. Runging RunEPlus.bat batch file

For example:example:
dos('D:\Your_EnergyPlus_installation_folder\RunEPlus.bat in(idf file name without idf extension) in(weather file without epw extension)') or
or<br> system('D:\Your_EnergyPlus_installation_folder\RunEPlus.bat in(idf file name without idf extension) in(weather file without epw extension)')

2. Runing energyplus.exe

For example:

system('C:\YOUR_ENERGYPLUS_INSTALLATION_FOLDER\EnergyPlus.exe -w weather_file.epw idf_file.idf')

where -w represents the weather file option. Without "-w" you only get a sizing run. Here are more details (https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/bl...) Please change your answer.
