Dear All,

I would like to run energyplus with command line arguments producing the standard eplusout.eso (after specifying Output:Variable in the idf file), but I do not want to have ReadVarsESO executed automatically after energyplus completes. (In order to obtain the results file in csv format I will call ReadVarsESO explicitly after energyplus completes).

I am aware of the energyplus option ( -r, --readvars, Run ReadVarsESO after simulation). My understanding is that by default ReadVarsESO is not executed after energyplus completes, but for some reason it does run for my case.

I am running under Linux, and executing energyplus (EnergyPlus, Version 9.0.1-bb7ca4f0da1) from the command line with command line arguments.

Any thoughts on how to force ReadVarsESO not to be executed would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

P.S. Not having ReadVarsESO run after energyplus might seem a bit unusual, but it is related to running independent energyplus processes in parallel under linux from command line (as described in a recent post https://unmethours.com/question/38548...).

Hello spwarkansas,

Thank you for your reply. In case anyone later is interested, I have also found the following:

• the original paper by Spitler for analytical validation http://rp.ashrae.biz/page/rp-1052.pdf

• and the e+ idf files that correspond to each of them https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlusVal...

I might approach GARD analytics and try to find the 1052-RP software, but the idf files are a good start by themselves.

Kind regards, Julian

Dear spwarkansas,

thank you for your prompt reply. I have had earlier a search at ASHRAE web site without success to find an option to download the toolbox software even for a fee. The original article by Spitler, J.; Rees, S.; Xiao, D. (2001). is available for download, but not the software nor the test cases files. Any suggestion about this would contribute for a good start of my journey into e+.

Kind regards, Uli

Dear users of e+,

I am new to it and to this forum and would like to get some confidence in using e+. One of the steps I contemplate is to use the ASHRAE analytical tests as described in the file energyplus_ashrae_1052rp_envelope.pdf for example.

This requires the ASHRAE 1052-RP Toolkit to be available and I have been unable to find any download links to it.

Also it would be useful to have the e+ files that recreate the standard tests described in this document and I have also been unable to find.

Any help in locating any of these would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for any ideas.

Kind regards, Uli
