Example Files¶

Many hundreds of example files come with EnergyPlus, and they are in the ExampleFiles folder from the installation. The \ExampleFiles\ExampleFiles.html lists each one and includes the name, a description (scroll all the way to the right) and lots of information such as the floor area and whether certain types of input objects are included in the file. Often searching through this file is a good way to find the proper example file to learn about a feature. Another method is the \ExampleFiles\ExampleFiles-ObjectsLink.html file which lists every type of input object that EnergyPlus uses and then the first three files that use that input object. It is possible that many other files also use a particular input object so if the first three files do not help, a text search of files in the ExampleFiles folder may find more.
