I have not tried opyPlus but eppy - I assume they work similarly when it comes to model edition. See epluslib/edit_idf.p

2021-04-05 09:47:45 -0500 marked best answer Trick to simulate for a leap year with weather file for "normal" year

(Related to https://unmethours.com/question/22577 where I initially posted, but this is actually a new question)

I was wondering how the CO2 concentration could raise in my classrooms during the weekends and realized that it is because I am simulating for 2020 which is a leap year, but my weather file is not describing a leap year. I use compact schedules with "Monday, Tuesdays..." or "Weekends" so from March everything got messed up.

I guess that to trick energyplus and making it believe that my weather file was written for 2020 does not make a lot of sense, it won't change the results... but I still want to do this. So I modified the weather file's header (to set the "Leap Year" flag to "Yes" and set the "Day of Week for Start Day" to the good value, for instance "Wednesday") and copied the data from February 28 to create some for February 29 because I had only 8760 entries in my weather file. Then I had to replace all the occurrences of the previous year with 2020.

This "procedure" is based on the referenced thread that is 3 years old, so my question is: is this still the right way to simulate for a leap year without having the appropriate weather file, or is there a better way?

2021-01-25 04:10:49 -0500 marked best answer I have a doubt about Sizing:System / Design Outdoor Air Flow Rate documentation

On https://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/doc... we can read that about the "Design Outdoor Air Flow Rate" field of "Sizing:System" object:

The design outdoor air flow rate in cubic meters per second. Generally this should be the minimum outdoor air flow.

Can someone please confirm that there is no error in the documentation and that "minimum outdoor air flow" is correct?

2021-01-14 08:34:57 -0500 marked best answer How to export OSM to IDF with the command line?

I can export my OpenStudio model with the OpenStudioApplication: File / Export / IDF. But I would like to do this from the command line (without running the simulation), is it possible? I can't find it on https://nrel.github.io/OpenStudio-use... or when typing openstudio.exe --help or openstudio list_commands.

Oh, I could edit the OSM file to introduce something that would make the simulation instantly fail and then retrieve the IDF from the run directory, but this is a bit cumbersome, I guess there's a better way :)
