I want to run an energyplus simulation for a building with slab from command windows. Since the building has a slab, I cannot use typical syntax in command windows (This way). I found this post that running energyplus with RunEplus.bat as a potential solution. I got these errors when I use .bat in command windows: image description

I can run EnergyPlus with EPlaunch. The OS is windows. I tried with a different version of energyplus but this does not work. My energyplus model is Residential Prototype Building Models from PNNL.

Update: I tried without .IDF and .EPW as well. Also, I copied energyplus.exe and ExpandObjects.exe from the energyplus installation folder. It does not work.

You need to modify RunEplus.bat so that it references the correct directories to locate your IDF, EPW, and EnergyPlus installation files. Right click + edit on RunEplus.bat and it will open in a text editor. Modify the paths highlighted below as appropriate, then in command prompt: RunEPlus.bat in in (assuming in.idf and in.epw filenames).

Thanks, Eric for your help. It works now. I didn't know that .bat files are editable
