Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community
 | 1 | initial version |
Your processor is a just a little bit better than a potato and is below the minimum system requirements needed to run OpenStudio/EnergyPlus, which is part of the backend of BEopt.
Here are two related questions on recommended system specifications:
What is the best hardware setup to minimize run time?
What amount of system resources are required to run OpenStudio?.
Your first priority should be to get a faster CPU, then a solid state drive, then more RAM if you are running multiple simulations in parallel. That probably means a new computer. For a cheap system that can run OS, check out logicalincrements or the refurbished section of an online store like Newegg.
