How to use EnergyPlus to model a neighborhood (several buildings)?
Hi,
I am working on simulating a neighborhood with PV installed on each building. I was wondering if there is a way to model and simulate the neighborhood (several buildings) using EnergyPlus. I understand that EnergyPlus does not require all the zones to be adjacent to each other, so one possible way could be that the neighborhood is a single model, consisting of different zones representing different buildings. But in this case how can I get the hourly consumption and PV production of each zone(building)? So I was wondering if there are other ways to use EnergyPlus as engines to simulate neighborhoods where I can define several buildings.
Thanks in advance!
