parameter change not reflected in simulations - andrea - 04-06-2016
Hi there,
I recently started to use jeplus and I am testing a workflow (i.e. generating an IDF file, performing parametric simulations, collecting results etc.).
I have simplified an existing E+ example IDF file (simple house), loaded that into jeplus and played with building orientation (used label @@north@@).
Simulations are performed and results collected. However this results in all simulations outputting the same values for relevant output variables (i.e. zone ambient and operative temperature, or Zone Exterior Windows Total Transmitted Beam Solar Radiation Rate).
I have checked the local IDF files (in.idf from sub-folders) and the north angle appears to suit the jeplus parameter change.
Any clue on why this may happen?
Thanks,
Andrea

Hi Andrea, it is most likely a problem with the IDF model. You can attach your project files here.
Cheers,
Yi

Yi,
thanks very much for your prompt reply. I have attached the IDF file (had to zip it) and embedded in this message, for quick browsing.
Thanks,
Andrea

I see. You need to set the Coordinate System to "relative" in the GlobalGeometryRules object, in order to rotate the building by its north axis. See: http://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/docs/8-0/input-output-reference/page-006.html#field-north-axis
