Hello, I am a complete NOOB on EnergyPlus (E+). I just started looking into it and have spent only 2 days learning the E+ with some tutorials mentioned in the documentation. My goal is to simulate a custom PID controller for the underfloor heating system on a residential building.
From the tutorials, I understand how I can create .IDF file and simulate them with the WeatherData using DOS commands. I also checked that I can use Eppy (Python Library, https://eppy.readthedocs.io) to create/edit/start simulation for E+.
I found (from the documentation) that I can create custom controllers using ERL. I am wondering if there is any Python Library for running ERL from Python itself? It can be either Python v3 or Python v2.
P.S - I haven't read the ERL documentation fully yet.
