2016-05-19 11:04:42 -0500 | asked a question | importing idf into OpenStudio I have a working energyplus .idf. When I try to import it into OpenStudio I get this error (in a tiny window): I found this, https://unmethours.com/question/1289/... Is schedule:week:compact the only schedule format that doesn't work? Are there other known issues with idf import documented somewhere? |
2016-05-18 14:52:42 -0500 | commented answer | Is OpenStudio of any use without Sketchup? Thanks, I did look at that. Note that one of the methods mentioned in that thread is IDF import, which is what I'm trying to do but it doesn't work very well. I actually have a geometry defined in my IDF which was generated by BEopt. I think the answer to my question is that SketchUp is only used for the geometry? |
2016-05-18 12:11:11 -0500 | commented answer | Is OpenStudio of any use without Sketchup? I have OpenStudio 1.11.0, on linux. SketchUp is not available for linux. I think you're saying that if I can get my idf imported, it will be useful without SketchUp? |
2016-05-17 20:36:10 -0500 | asked a question | Is OpenStudio of any use without Sketchup? I'm trying to import a working energyplus .idf file into OpenStudio and working through one error message after another and am wondering if it is worth it without Sketchup. |
2016-05-13 12:15:02 -0500 | asked a question | parameters for DX:Multispeed, mitsubishi Any chance someone has modeled a mitsubishi hyperheat split system heat pump (or another similar mini-split)? I'm looking for the parameters for Coil:Heating:DX:MultiSpeed. I'll check with mitsu, but I expect my email will drop into a black hole. |
2016-05-12 10:15:18 -0500 | commented question | How are surfaces geometry checked (or not), energyplus The garage and the attic are unconditioned. It was insulated mostly as a test. The garage temperatures were colder than expected or desired. The garage floor as built by BEopt was highly insulated with layers like this: Adiabatic,Soil-12in,Concrete-4in; !- Layers Material:NoMass, Adiabatic, !- Name Rough, !- Roughness 176.1; !- Thermal Resistance {m2-K/W) Why would they model it like this? It seems like removing that Adiabatic layer and modeling the ground temperature, or scheduling it at 10C would be a better model. |
2016-05-12 08:40:10 -0500 | commented question | How are surfaces geometry checked (or not), energyplus So, without sketchup it is not much use, correct? |
2016-05-12 08:39:03 -0500 | answered a question | How are surfaces geometry checked (or not), energyplus Sorry if this is a dupe, I answered myself yesterday... I reread the GettingStarted guide, surfaces are functional heat transfer objects, the geometry doesn't matter. |

2016-05-11 21:07:47 -0500 | asked a question | How are surfaces geometry checked (or not), energyplus I have a model generated in beopt, now I'm trying to add an insulated ceiling in the garage. Beopt put an unfinished roof over the garage, so there is are 'roof' heat transfer surfaces from garage to outside. I added an insulated ceiling, but it doesn't look like it changed anything. I think I need to fix these other surfaces too, correct? Is there any checking or validation performed in energyplus for surface coherence? What would happen if there was a wall missing or something? I don't have a windows computer (linux geek) so I borrowed one to generate the model with Beopt, now I'm attempting to make modifications without it. Am I nuts to try to do this without a frontend such as BEopt? There appears to be nothing other than windows programs. |
