Time period simulation with EnergyPlus™ from CYPECAD MEP

The 2018.l version of CYPECAD MEP and CYPETHERM programs with the EnergyPlus analysis engine (CYPETHERM EPlus, CYPETHERM HE Plus and CYPETHERM RECS Plus) allows users to define the simulation of the time period of EnergyPlus. In previous versions, users could only simulate the whole year or two design days.

When the data of the project in CYPECAD MEP is exported to Energy Plus (from the “Air conditioning” tab), a process begins that ends with the program displaying the “Viewer for data exported to Energy Plus”. It is here that the EnergyPlus analysis motor is used and where, as of this, the 2018.l version, users can select the desired time period.
