Thank you Alfredo, Do you have other table detailing the heat gain rate for home use like shower, tumble dryer, ... ?

thank you Julien, the image below give an exemple of results. ps : I use XnView to place all the images on one file.

I ve just tried with the update and it works perfectly, I don't have the error you mention. Can I add a figure ?

2017-02-23 06:37:45 -0500 asked a question load several .idf in sketchup (display requirement only)

I am searching a way to present numerus geometrical facade option that are the products of an optimization process.

The first idea - Converting .idf to JPEG in batchmode - was to convert each .idf individually in .jpeg or other image file in order to put them together on a sheet like photographic contact print. Julien Marrec explain how to generate image file for a list of .idf in the question called: "Converting .idf to JPEG in batchmode". A second option has been suggested in the Philippe Marin phd thesis p194-195. Instead of individually print each project in order to put them together on a sheet, he put them together onto the graphical editor and export them once a time.

Would it be possible to load several .idf files into a sketchup file by organizing them in a grid ?

2017-02-23 04:16:08 -0500 commented answer Converting .idf to JPEG in batchmode

You proposal allowed me to do the conversion with a wire rendering. I have the same rendering_mode error. I am not used to Ruby so I do not have the means to investigate deeper. Thank you very much

2017-02-22 14:25:30 -0500 answered a question Converting .idf to JPEG in batchmode

Thank you Jason, I have a look on the qcad dwg2bmp documentation. Unfortunately it is not possible to give information on the point of view so it probably limited to 2D dwf or dxf.

2017-02-22 08:41:20 -0500 asked a question Converting .idf to JPEG in batchmode

I have generated a pool of idf file through an optimization process while modifying facade characteristics (notably the position and length of the overhang and dimensions of the windows). I would like to have a graphical rendering for each idf. There is between hundred and several thousand idf files so I am searching for a batch processing method.

Can I do that though ruby scripting and open studio? Or using energyplus dxf export capability?
