What are the Electricity:Plant constituents? I have a single-zone office building. I'm trying to break down the electric

Awesome. Thank you for your answer! It seems like some kind of script (written in Python or C) could be very helpful wit

2017-05-25 16:27:06 -0500 marked best answer Why is 3B-Coast not an option in Create DOE Prototype Building measure?

3B-Coast is mentioned as one of the 16 DOE commercial reference building climate zones, but is not an option when using the Create DOE Prototype Building measure. Why is this?

Okay, so essentially the only thing that would be different when running CreateDOEPrototypeBuilding with 3B-Coast would

Thank you @mdahlhausen. The folder names for the BCL measures also make it really difficult to find what you're looking

2017-05-24 14:38:32 -0500 marked best answer BCL measure download directory

I would like to be able to edit measures that were downloaded from the BCL from within OpenStudio, but I cannot find the filepath to these measures. I understand that I could probably just download the measure directly from the BCL website, but this will not allow me to see the effect my edits have on the behavior of the measure. I would have thought they'd be found somewhere like C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenStudio 1.14.0\measures. This is not the case. Where are these measures kept?

@mdahlhausen I don't quite understand. The reason a distinction was made between the two subclimate zones in the report

2016-10-11 20:40:49 -0500 answered a question new to OpenStudio SketchUp plug-in - how to get it running?

It turns out that my computer was being slow as it was booting up SketchUp for the first time. As such, there was a pop-up window that was not popping up. The next day when I opened SketchUp, this window popped up saying, "Welcome to the OpenStudio SketchUp plug-in!"

2016-10-06 17:09:37 -0500 asked a question new to OpenStudio SketchUp plug-in - how to get it running?

I'm new to EnergyPlus, as well as OpenStudio and SketchUp. I've just downloaded E+ 8.6.0, OpenStudio 1.13.0, and SketchUp Make 2016 (currently on 1-month Pro trial), all 64-bit. I'm running Windows 10. EnergyPlus has been tested (as much as can be tested without a UI) and found working. When I went through the OpenStudio installation, it mentioned that SketchUp could not be found installed anywhere on the computer and that when I did install and open SketchUp, I should see the OpenStudio plug-in right away (there weren't really any more specifics). So I installed and opened Sketchup: no joy. I couldn't find the extension anywhere. I even tried uninstalling and then reinstalling OpenStudio to see if I would get shoehorned down the path to the OpenStudio plug-in. Didn't work.

When I look for help on the web, all I see are screenshots of computers running OS X that have a drop-down called "Extensions," in between "Window" and "Help." I don't have that drop-down. I've tried going to the Extension Warehouse from SketchUp, and for some reason the only version of OpenStudio they show is 1.0.0. Seems strange to me.

Do I need to be installing the Legacy plug-in or something? I've seen mention of other people using that.

Thanks in advance, Nathaniel
