co-simulation between ENVI-met and Energyplus
Hello everyone,
I’m working on coupling ENVI-met with EnergyPlus through Grasshopper plugins (using Morpho and Honeybee). My goal is to use EMS overrides to inject ENVI-met microclimate outputs — such as air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, wind speed, and wind direction — into EnergyPlus via the additionalStrings input in Honeybee. I would like to analyze how these microclimate effects influence energy consumption and surface outside face temperatures in the simulation.
However, when I add the additional strings file to the HB Model to OSM component, the simulation outputs (energy use, surface temperatures) remain unchanged — the results are the same as those from the run without any additional strings.
I’ve pasted a part of my additional strings file below and would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions on why the EMS overrides might not be affecting the simulation as expected.
Thank you in advance for your help!
