Step 6 is the step in question. That doesn't work for me and I haven't looked into exactly why yet. Granted I have 5 versions of Ruby on my machine.

It looks like OpenStudio is using system Ruby (not sure why). Try this.

In your openstudio-standards checkout and build the ruby gem:

cd <path-to-openstudio-standards-root>/openstudio-standards
bundle
rake build

Then use system ruby to install the gem:

sudo /usr/bin/gem install <path-to-openstudio-standards-root>/openstudio-standards/openstudio-standards-0.1.0.gem

I did try using --user-install option to avoid sudo, but for some reason that didn't work.

In OpenStudio run "Apply Measure Now" and it just worked.

The system is an constant volume model.Each system have a supply and a return fan. I want to use the AvailablityManager:NightVentilation but I don`t know why the fan not work at night.When I delete the return fan the supply can work correctly. So I want know which method can make the supply fan and return fan work at night. Thank you!

I've been keeping the openstudio docker images up to date with the OpenStudio releases (https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/nll...)

The VirtualPulse project has made a similar web application that runs measures, though they are not using ASP.NET. I can't really comment on why your system isn't working, it's possible some additional security settings are enabled in the production environment? You should look through your log files and see what you can find.

Have you resolved this yet?

Are you trying to use the C# bindings to OpenStudio? Or are you running OpenStudio measures via a system call?

Dan's comment is valid around checking the log files. I would also check security settings. Are you using IIS? If so you will probably have to allow IUSR access to the run directories for the measures and probably OpenStudio.

while running the Daylight simulation with the help of Radiance on OpenStudio 1.7 I get the following error: " No tool matching: expandobjects 8.2.-.- no sql file given, running EnergyPlus... " ... "ERROR: No tool matching: expandobjects 8.2.-.- Radiance export aborted."

I found the referred thread in the search on this forum, but the content is no longer available..

KR, Anna.

Is it possible to create a thermal zone in OpenStudio?

Also can already created schedule be imported from another model?

I am consistently receiving this crash report in OpenStudio 1.7.0. I am using Windows 7 64 bit. I don´t why it happens but it does consistently. It´s just a matter of time while I´m doing a model. I just have to constantly re-booting SketchUp and keep going. I really don´t know if if because of my hardware or the software. I have a Dell Latitude E6400 with Intel Core Duo 2.54 Ghz with 8 GB RAM. The sketchup version is 2015 Professional 64 bit. Help to determine why this happens will be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance(/upfiles/14341279751353459.jpg)

Sometimes I am doing a model and after either intersecting or matching surfaces, I get what is shown on this screenshot. Only lines shown but no rendering. It happens very frequently.

Last time that happened I had to start the model again. Tried to diagnose the file, restart sketchup, but could not fix the model. I would like to know why this happens?

I finished a geometry in OpenStudio 1.7.0. Then exported a GBxml file to open it in Trace 700 and is not loading the spaces. Does this OpenStudio version supports GBXML for Trace 700 or I have to go back to an older version?

Hi All,

I was wondering if there's a tool or a method to quickly identify surfaces,sub surfaces on OpenStudio like the inspector tool that we use on Scketchup?.

I am aware of the Facility tab but for my first model I have over 500+ spaces and the geometry was pretty complicated to remember a random surface or subsurface. I was getting some errors because some of the surfaces or sub surfaces were missing the construction material or were not match. When this happens what I usually do is go back to skectchup and look for them using the inspector.

Thanks,

Julian

It builds the shared libraries for Ruby which are needed for linking by OpenStudio. For Linux it builds the libruby.so and for Mac the libruby.dylib.

I think the issue is around the lack of the Ruby shared-libraries when using RVM (or rbenv).

For RVM, when you install the ruby, make sure to pass in the config flag for 'enable-shared'

rvm install 2.0.0 -C --enable-shared

If you use rbenv, then you need to export the environment variable

RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--enable-shared rbenv install 2.0.0-p353

You should then be able to do:

irb -I <path-to-openstudio.rb>

e.g. irb -I /Application/OpenStudio\ 1.7.5/Ruby/

I prefer to set an environment variable that points to my version of OpenStudio. In my .bash_profile, I add:

export RUBYLIB="/Applications/OpenStudio 1.7.5/Ruby"

I suggest using Chef when and where possible, but I don't think that will work for RHEL 5. We have had to create custom builds for that target in the past. Here is EnergyPlus 8.1 for RHEL 5 x86 or EnergyPlus 8.1 for RHEL 5 x64. I'm not sure about EnergyPlus 8.2.

In OpenStudio and PAT you can configure the proxy by going to Preferences->Configure Internet Proxy. Enter your proxy URL, port, and username/password. Check with your IT department on the configuration if you cannot find it on your computer. The username/password field is optional on some proxies.

I do my best to keep this service running as the app is using legacy code. I am unsure how much longer we are going to support modelmaker.nrel.gov or the example file generator. The best approach for the future is to use OpenStudio and use either the SketchUp plug-in or scripts to generate models dynamically. You can then use PAT to perturb the model using measures from the Building Component Library.

Future installers of EnergyPlus will not have passwords. For now we mirror passwordless EnergyPlus installers here: http://developer.nrel.gov/downloads/b.... You should still create an account on http://energyplus.gov. I think you want to create a Dockerfile and also push it to Docker Hub.

Now that Docker is out of Beta and is supported by Google Compute Engine, AWS, and others, I would like to start deploying EnergyPlus (and an entire analysis stack) via containers.
