I used the OpenStudio measure "Create DOE Prototype Building" for a medium and large office buildings, but found that the site EUIs vary widely from the EUI summary table on DOE's website. Specifically, I ran both buildings for the 90.1-2013 standard and 4A climate zone without any further modifications and got a 35% lower EUI for the medium office building and 240% higher EUI for the large office building, compared to the DOE summary table EUIs.

Has anyone else come across this issue? Are there any best-practice suggestions for using this measure to avoid such an issue? Has this measure been validated or is it still under active development?

Has anyone validated the DOE Reference Building Measure? I used the OpenStudio measure "Create DOE Prototype Building" f

In eppy 0.5.44 documentation there is a description of the "modeleditor.rename(idf, key, oldname, newname)" functionality for applying a new name across the entire idf. I was not able to find anything about the same functionality in the geomeppy documentation. Does anyone know if it is there, why it would not be there, or have an alternative approach to renaming objects?

Does geomeppy have the eppy rename functionality? In eppy 0.5.44 documentation there is a description of the "modeledito

This solved my crash issue but now I am dealing with fatal error message of limited information: *** Warning: Node con

I have an idf file I created and used in energyplus 8.8 but when I switched to 8.9 and updated the 8.8 idf file the simulation just crashes. Normally I would have the error file to work with to fix my idf file but this crash leaves me little clue as to what is wrong. I tried running the 8.8 idf file in EP8.8 again and it works there, with no errors. I compared the 8.8 and 8.9 idf files in the idf editor and there are no differences, meaning the update of the file seems ok. I suppose the new EP does not like something about my idf setup which was previously fine.

I ran the simulation with the "pause" function and at the end of the simulation I get this:

What could the problem be?
