This section provides an overview of the EnergyPlus building energy simulation software as well as its history and goals. It also shows beginning users how to run EnergyPlus, tells them what files are needed for to execute the software, and what files are produced when EnergyPlus runs successfully. It also provides guidance on how to determine sources of errors when EnergyPlus runs into problems and how serious those problems might be.
Energy Plus is a stand-alone simulation program without a 'user friendly' graphical interface. EnergyPlus reads input and writes output as text files. Currently, there are a variety of interfaces available or under development. Check the Interfaces and Other Tools page for up-to-date information.
