Is there any documentation out there that actually explains in detail what the header rows in the .epw format mean? And just any documentation for EPW formatting in general?

I found out how to do this and it depends on which version of EnergyPlus you're using. Like @David Goldwasser said, if

Just wondering if anyone has tried to run EnergyPlus simulations in parallel in Azure Batch?

If so, are there any tips or tricks that helped you keep it going along?

I have so far figured out how to add E+ as an application and invoke it via a Task in Batch. I get this error, however:

As you can see, it seems to look for Missing C:\EnergyPlusV8-1-0\Energy+.idd, which would not exist in this context... Has anyone run into this before?

Hi Stuy1974, From what I've read it sounds like you've figured out how to run EnergyPlus in Azure. Do you think you cou
