How to find the energy transfer rate from walls and windows? Hi, I am trying to find the energy transfer rate from wall

Is it possible to perform group Simulation in Python API? Hi, Is it possible to do group simulation using Eplus Python

@Aaron Boranian Sure. I will change the post next time.

my code is as follows. for i in range(0,4499,1): api = EnergyPlusAPI() state = api.state_manager.new_state()

my code is as follows. for i in range(0,4499,1): api = EnergyPlusAPI() state = api.state_manager.new_state() api.state

building_list is the list containing all the file names of 4500 IDFs.

my code is as follows. for i in range(0,4499,1): api = EnergyPlusAPI() state = api.state_manager.new_state() api.state

Same results for different IDF when simulated using EnergyPlus API Hi, I have 4500 different IDFs with different config

This works. Thank you so much..

Hi,

I am trying to setup a Baseboard Heater in EnergyPlus using the code as follows:

ZoneHVAC:Baseboard:Convective:Electric,
  Zone A BASEBOARD,  !- Name
  Zone A Heating Availability Sch,  !- Availability Schedule Name
  HeatingDesignCapacity,   !- Heating Design Capacity Method
  5000,                    !- Heating Design Capacity {W}
  ,                        !- Heating Design Capacity Per Floor Area {W/m2}
  ,                        !- Fraction of Autosized Heating Design Capacity
  0.97;                    !- Efficiency

There are many outputs available for this class and I am interested in the output HVAC,Sum,Baseboard Electric Energy [J]. I checked my RDD file and it is available.

But, whenever I try to request this output, I get the following error:

The following Report Variables were requested but not generated -- check.rdd file
**   ~~~   ** Either the IDF did not contain these elements, the variable name is misspelled,

I checked everything but EPlus is still throwing that error. Please help to fix this.

Thank you for your time..

Thank you everyone for your awesome help. The ANN schedule is finally working... with three input variables.

@mechyai I tried to see the actuator details using the link you posted earlier. I found the following. EnergyManagement

@ Aaron Hi Aaron, Is it possible to execute EnergyPlus from library "from pyenergyplus.api import EnergyPlusAPI" withou

@ Aaron Hi Aaron, If I am using python EMS, then I don't have to define EnergyManagementSystem:Actuator in the IDF fil

@mechyai I am particularly confused with actuator_key part of the handle. I set actuator_key as already existing dummy

@mechyai I used set_actuator_value and tried to run it. It is giving me following error. * Severe * Data Exchange API:

@ Aaron Hi Aaron, If I am using python EMS, then I don't have to define EnergyManagementSystem:Actuator in the IDF fil

@ Aaron thanks Aaron. your solution worked. But I got into another problem. The last line of the code : api.exchange.se

Error: 'float' object has no attribute 'apply' Hi... I am trying to use ANN model to predict the window opening and clo

@mechyai I can now import values from zone temperature and outdoor temperature and pass it into my ANN model. I can also

Hi...

Is it possible to supply the indoor temperature, indoor RH and other values to the ANN model that can predict the opening and closing of the windows? I already have the model. I have to figure out how can I supply the indoor air parameters like temperature and RH from the energy plus to my ANN model. And also how to replace the Window Open/Close values predicted by ANN model as the schedule to window opening?

I believe this can be done using python but I am not sure how to start.

Thank you so much for your time.

This works.. thanks..
