ExpandObjects source code
Is there any intent to open source the ExpandObjects tool for pre-processing IDFs?
I find myself occasionally wishing I could develop new HVACTemplate objects to suite my needs.
Thanks

The ExpandObjects source code is in a single Fortran 90 file called epfilter.f90. It can be seen at:
https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/tree/develop/src/ExpandObjects
It was designed to make it extendable to new HVACTemplates.
Jason, I'm slightly confused... I was expecting those f90 files to have been converted to C++ with v8.2. Am I missing something?
The main focus of the conversion from Fortran to C++ was the main EnergyPlus program. Many utilities, like ExpandObjects, were not converted to C++.
Understood, thanks. Is there a plan to convert those at some point or will they remain in fortran?
We could do that. We have Stuart Mentzer (the man who translated EnergyPlus) under contract. Stay tuned.
