Hi,

I'm working with EnergyPlus and Eppy for a project at university. I've got an example file to run within spyder, although I don't get any results. Is there a way to print the results?

Thanks Ben Sykes

Define results? Do you want to inspect the IDF file after modification? Or are you talking about the simulation results?

Sorry Julien, I mean the simulation results. The file seems to run, but I get nothing in the terminal or the console. Sorry for the confusion, still learning the system. Thanks Ben

Normally I use esoreader to parse the output while staying in the python ecosystem

As far as I know Eppy doesn't include any results viewing capability. Check the run folder, you should have the HTML, SQL (if requested), etc. You can query these using python but you'll need to write your own code.

You can also look at the HTML in your browser, and you could view the SQL file in a third party tool such as DView, which comes with OpenStudio or in standalone version here

Here's the documentation for viewing outputs: https://eppy.readthedocs.io/en/latest...

Is there a way to change the name of the output files when running energyplus simulation use eppy? The default name is eplusout, it will be great if another name can be assigned. Thanks

@Amy Lee, read the docs: https://eppy.readthedocs.io/en/latest... or just do help(idf.run) Pass output_prefix, eg idf.run(output_prefix='myfile')
