Revision history [back]

Hi all,

I am a complete beginner to E+, OpenStudio, and PAT, but I'm trying to run an analysis which compares the heating and cooling load of all prototype buildings in each zone (like this person was doing: https://unmethours.com/question/62518/automating-openstudio-runs-and-changing-measure-values/ )

I've used the empty seed model as mentioned above, added the "create prototype buildings" measure, and the "openstudio results" measures. As a "proof of concept", I added 2 options to the create buildings measure for 2 different building types. However when I run the simulation, there are no results.

Questions: Is anyone else running into this issue? Am I possibly missing a step somewhere? Is there a detailed walkthrough on using this measure that I haven't found? Is there a better way to run this? Such as a way to batch run the files (linked here https://www.energycodes.gov/prototype-building-models ) through energy plus?

Thank you for your time and consideration!
