Using EPMacro with JEplus

edit

Hi, I have been attempting to combine EP-macro funcionalities with jEPlus, following Ivan's video guidance.

Specifically, I would like to include in the parametric simulations the possibility of changing building fabric. This would mean combining a choice of constructions to form a build-up (WALL1 + FLOOR2 + WINDOW1 etc.) with a choice of materials (layers) to form on construction element.

I guess my question could be framed as: can I divide

!-   ===========  ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: CONSTRUCTION ===========
Construction,
    WALL1,              !- Name
    BRICK,                !- Outside Layer
    INS1,                  !- Layer 2
    BLOCK;               !- Layer 3

Construction,
    WALL2,              !- Name
    BRICK,                !- Outside Layer
    INS2,                  !- Layer 2
    BLOCK;               !- Layer 3

into two or more chunks to be added separately through EP macro?

!-   ===========  ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: CONSTRUCTION ===========
Construction,
    WALL1,              !- Name
    BRICK,                !- Outside Layer
    INS1,                  !- Layer 2
    BLOCK;               !- Layer 3

!-   ===========  ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: CONSTRUCTION ===========
Construction,
    WALL2,              !- Name
    BRICK,                !- Outside Layer
    INS2,                  !- Layer 2
    BLOCK;               !- Layer 3 

etc.

With regards to materials, it this is limited to, say, changing the insulation thickness, I suppose I could swap the parameter 'thickness' with a @@label@@. However, would there be a system to perform a sort of a 'recursive' ##include, that is an ##include within another ##include?

Thanks
