BEopt is supposed to create the weather cache file on the fly but there appear to be situations where it doesn't. If you

BEopt does not make the hourly supply air temperatures available to the user. Though if you are proficient at using Ener

Have you tried using TrackFacilityElectricDemandStoreExcessOnSite for the Storage Operation Scheme? As per the documenta

Can you share your BEopt file via Google Drive or Dropbox?

Not a full solution, but note that E+ 8.7 and newer allow you to use regular expressions in Output:Variable. It obviousl

I'd suggest using the Gunnison TMY3 weather file. It's at similar elevation to Salida and should have similar weather.

It sounds like you are referring to a walkout basement. The best model in EnergyPlus for this foundation type is Kiva. I

It was indeed down for a couple days, but is back up as of Jan 28. Credit to @kflemin.

Seems worth requesting these inputs as an enhancement at https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/issues

There are two main approaches: Use Airflow Network: This is a detailed, pressure-based calculation. It can handle comp

The error message says "Perl could not be found in path". You need to install perl and then add it to your PATH.

It shouldn't have produced an IDF, I filed a bug report here. You basically asked for one datapoint, which did not meet

Another option is to actuate the Heating/Cooling Availability Schedules (e.g., here) instead of the setpoint.

Have you tried using the Output:EnergyManagementSystem object to verify that your EMS program is doing what you expect?

EnergyPlus is not a CFD program. As described under Wind Pressure Coefficient Type, the default option of SurfaceAverage

One common approach to disabling an HVAC system using EMS is to change the setpoint schedule so that the setpoint is ver

It's not an error, it's a warning. Maybe @"Julien Marrec" knows why it's happening. But I'm guessing it's safe to ignore

The PVWatts model has the ability to model one axis and two axis rotating arrays. See the Array Type field.

If I understand correctly, you changed the IDF timestep to hourly but used the same 15-min stochastic schedule CSV. If y

I'm not answering the question, but isn't it a really small effect? According to https://www.ufinebattery.com/blog/why-d

It's not as easy as it probably should be, but the simplest path is to use the same versions of ResStock and OpenStudio

There is some description of how to do this for an earlier ResStock dataset, but I imagine most of it applies. See here

Can you say where your HPXML file came from? There are lots of different flavors of HPXML files (some specifically used

You should be able to do this using the Meter:Custom and Meter:CustomDecrement objects. These will create custom meters

Alternatively, you can report a bug at https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/issues to have an EnergyPlus developer work on

The Energy+.idd file should be the source of truth. If you want to contribute to EnergyPlus, see the contribution policy

It is simply not available. You could request the feature at https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/issues if you want, I do
