Learn practical Energyplus modeling with hands-on exercises, follow along to build models, and master error troubleshooting through structured steps and course tips.
Explore energyplus input files (idf) basics, including editing with text editors or the idf editor, navigating sections, classes, objects, and data sets such as Ashrae for materials.
Define a first EnergyPlus model from scratch by building a simple geometry in IDF, setting location and solar distribution, and selecting inside and outside convection algorithms.
Configure EnergyPlus heat balance algorithms, including conduction transfer function and moisture storage, set time steps and limits, then define site location, climate, design days, and constructions using Azure data sets.
Define fenestrations for the east and west walls using the existing window construction, assign to the corresponding building surfaces, and specify accurate coordinates for proper window placement.
Learn to use the text editor alongside the IDF editor for EnergyPlus models, and leverage VS code with the EnergyPlus model kit plugin for color-coded syntax and ready example files.
